Blenheim Palace Christmas Market
Working in partnership with Blenheim Palace and Sony Music, Living Crafts Events is thrilled to bring the fifth Christmas Market to the Palace. This chalet based event will run for over four weeks and will be held in a stunning setting of the Great Court at the heart of the Palace.
Around seventy chalets filled the Great Court in 2022 with visitors enjoying the festive atmosphere and buying hand-picked, irresistible gifts and unique products, as well as tempting treats for foodies and delicious seasonal drinks. Based on 2022 figures, over 150,000 people came through the Market as part of the 'Blenheim at Christmas Experience' with Market visitor numbers peaking at around 10,000 a day at weekends.
Blenheim Palace will be transformed into a magical fairy tale fantasy world of Sleeping Beauty with the State Rooms of Britain’s Greatest Palace aglow with seasonal decorations. Visitors can wander beneath garlands into rooms filled with glistening ornaments, ribbons, baubles, holly and mistletoe. The themed Palace adventure begins in the Great Hall with each room decorated to reflect a different chapter of the story.
As the sun sets and the late afternoon lights come on, the second wave of visitors will descend on the Palace. The Light Trail will be bigger and brighter than ever and the Market will be promoted to these customers as an integral part of the 'Blenheim at Christmas Experience'.
