Discover our new interactive palace app
Visitors to Blenheim Palace can now enjoy personally tailored tours, thanks to a new state of the art app, ‘Archie - your interactive guide’, named in honour of the Palace’s former Administrator and first Chief Guide, Archie Illingworth, who worked there from 1950 to 1972, and retired after the death of the 10th Duke.
The app allows visitors to choose exactly what they would like to see and hear, and allows them to delve into over 300 years’ worth of stories - many of which have never been told before - with several of the narratives shared directly by staff members, giving authenticity and depth to the cultural heritage experience.
The new multimedia platform has been created through Culturati, a groundbreaking Horizon Europe RIA project, for which Britain’s Greatest Palace is the UK pilot site.
