This year, our Great Court will once again be transformed into a festive market | 17th November - 17th December 2023

Get into the festive spirit

Our seasonal Christmas Market is a calendar highlight and will delight and engage all of your senses. Wrap up warm and spend some time wandering around the traditional wooden chalets, pick up some Christmas gifts for loved ones or maybe just treat yourself!

With a wide variety of stalls on offer, including one hosted by our very own retail shop, there will be something for everyone to indulge in, from mulled wine, different cheeses and decadent sweet treats, to knitwear, jewellry and ceramics.

A merry time awaits

Plan your next visit to us and don't miss out on a wonderful Christmas time. Entry to our Christmas Market is free before 16.00, providing you book parking in advance. Full entry is included with an Annual Pass or with your ticket to Christmas at Blenheim Palace, so you can enjoy the market before or after (or both) you've experienced the magic of the season on the light trail or within the Palace.

The Market is open between 10.30 - 20.30 every day between 17th November - 17th December (excluding the 27th and 28th November, when it closes at 17.00). Parking is advised to book in advance.

Enjoy the full Christmas experience

Our illuminated light trail brings together a multitude of twinkling lights, seasonal sounds and festive fun. Now firmly established as an unmissable diary date, our after-dark trail makes for an unforgettable time.

You can also book to explore the Palace, which will be transformed to retell the classic fairytale of Sleeping Beauty for a new generation. Each room tells a different chapter in Sleeping Beauty’s story and of course there’s plenty of festive decorations including our gigantic Christmas Tree in The Great Hall.
