Choose your day
In winter the State Rooms open daily from 10:30 to 15:45, the gardens from 10:00 to 15:45 and the park from 09:30 to 18:00. From 13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 the palace hosts Christmas at Blenheim, a separately ticketed event. On very cold or windy days some areas may close, and quiet sessions run in the palace from 15:00 to 16:00 on the last Monday of each month.
Getting there
The palace is eight miles north-west of Oxford on the A44, and parking is free. Stagecoach S3 and S7 buses run from Oxford to the palace gates, and the S7 also from Oxford Parkway station, the quickest rail route from London Marylebone; from the gates it is a 10 to 15-minute walk through the park.
At the palace
Blenheim is cashless, so bring a card. Only a small bag, carried on your front, may go into the palace, and photography is welcome without flash. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the park, but not in the Formal Gardens.
