Visit Blenheim Palace and enjoy a memorable day out for two, complete with a two-course meal and a glass of bubbly each. This package includes entry to the Palace and its beautiful estate, along with dining at the charming Macdonald Bear Hotel, just a 10-minute walk away. Set on the edge of the picturesque village of Woodstock, Blenheim Palace is one of Britain’s most impressive stately homes and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Surrounded by sweeping parkland and formal gardens designed by Capability Brown, it offers plenty to explore both inside and out. Discover the grand State Rooms, the Churchill exhibition, and the fascinating “Life Below Stairs” experience, or join a guided tour (subject to availability) for a deeper look behind the scenes. After exploring, take a short stroll into Woodstock and relax over your two-course meal and glass of bubbly at the Macdonald Bear Hotel, a cosy 13th-century coaching inn and the perfect way to round off your day. With history, scenery and a touch of sparkle, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
