The much-loved Christmas experience returns to Blenheim Palace for 2025, inviting visitors to enjoy the enchanting trails.

There’s No Place Like Blenheim Palace – The Iconic Light Trail is Back for 2025
The Illuminated Trail is bigger, better and brighter than ever before – featuring spectacular works by international and local artists. It’s a place where new memories can be made as a multitude of glowing lights and seasonal sounds fill the air with festive fun. Firmly positioned as one of the UK’s leading illuminated trails, this has everything you need for an unforgettable time with friends and family, including a magical glimpse of Father Christmas along the way.

No festive stroll would be complete without delicious winter treats, and this year’s hand-picked street food vendors will be serving up an irresistible selection of seasonal snacks. Whether it’s a spiced winter warmer, a creamy hot chocolate, or a perfectly toasted marshmallow*, there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in the flavours of Christmas.
 
Then don’t forget there’s a delightful outdoor Christmas Market running from Friday 14th November – Sunday 21st December, where you can escape the bustle of the High Street and meet the makers of unique and handcrafted gifts.
 
The Palace of Oz - A magical tale of wizardry, witches, sparkling shoes and the power of friendship.
Inside the Palace, join us for an adventure through the State rooms at The Palace of Oz, inspired by L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, follow our road of yellow brick sprinkled with Christmas magic. Look out for Toto, The Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Witches, Munchkins and more, as you journey to the Land of Oz and discover the Emerald City where Dorothy awaits. 
 
Your very merriest Christmas starts here. Limited capacity with timed entry. Plan now to secure the date and time of your choice.
