Current Patron Information

Thank you for supporting Blenheim Palace as a Patron

Patrons play a vital part in protecting and sharing this extraordinary place for future generations, helping to conserve the palace, its collections and its historic grounds. Blenheim Palace has stood for over 300 years, and it is thanks to the generosity of Patrons like you that this work is able to continue.

In recognition of that support, you have access to Blenheim Palace throughout the year, along with invitations to a range of activities designed for our Patrons. These experiences offer a closer connection to the estate, its history and the conservation work your support makes possible.

Your experiences as a Patron

We have created a programme of Patron activities to reflect our gratitude for your donation and provide meaningful insight, access and connection to Blenheim Palace. Events and activities are held throughout the year and vary from year to year, adapted to reflect operational requirements, conservation priorities, seasonal opportunities and the availability of specialist speakers, guides and contributors.

We welcome Patrons from across the world, offering regular updates and online content to help you stay connected with Blenheim Palace when you're not in the UK

Your Patron Pass

Patrons may choose from a range of Pass options to suit their circumstances, whether visiting as an individual, with their partner, or as a family. Each option combines annual passes with guest day passes, providing access for up to eight people over the course of a year.

Silver and Gold Patrons:
Deepening your connection

As a Silver or Gold Patron, your relationship with Blenheim Palace becomes increasingly personalised. Opportunities may include behind-the-scenes access, specialist disussions, curator-led experiences and bespoke invitations, shaped by your interests and the life of the Palace.

These vary from year to year and may be adapted to reflect operational requirements, conservation priorities, seasonal opportunities and the availability of specialist speakers, guides and contributors.
