Enjoy all kinds of family fun this May half term

This May half term is bursting with family adventures to be had. Hop aboard the miniature train down to the Walled Garden, where you can find your way through our amazing Marlborough Maze and grab a bite to eat at the Walled Garden Pizzeria. Nature enthusiasts can wander through our Butterfly House, home to species from all over the world, and learn about our Blenheim bees in our Rowse Honey Hive. Head to the hidden world of Adventure Play where kids of all ages can climb up nets and giant carrots, shoot down slides, clamber through tunnels, whizz down ziplines and splash their way through our Winding River, the perfect way to cool off on a sunny day. Little ones can follow Pip and Posy's rainbow trail and even meet Pip and Posy themselves on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May.

There'll be delicious delights to suit everyone's taste buds at the Food Festival taking place from Saturday 23rd - Monday 25th May. Step back in time in the Palace at our Blueprints of Power exhibition and discover how the Palace was first built. With our Palace & Play Pass, you can enjoy all of our half term activity as well as many more exciting events and unlimited access all year round.
