Help Us Save the Planet

In 2019 Blenheim made a pioneering pledge: to become carbon neutral on scopes 1-3 of the Greenhouse Gas protocol by 2027 and to remove 230,000 tonnes CO2e from the atmosphere by 2050. It’s an ambitious target but one we hope to achieve with our ground-breaking projects.

Gift Aid Really Counts

Blenheim Palace is over 300 years old and needs constant attention. All funds raised through admission charges are invested in vital conservation and restoration projects. In 2025 we undertook our biggest project to date, restoring the Palace roof at a cost of £12 million. Choosing to Gift Aid at checkout allows Blenheim to reclaim 25p for every £1 spent on admission, helping to protect our legacy, and the best bit is that it won’t cost you a penny.
