Blenheim Palace Christmas Market
Working in partnership with Blenheim Palace and Sony Music, Living Crafts Events is thrilled to bring the sixth Christmas Market to the Palace. This chalet based event will run for over five weeks and will be held in a stunning setting of the Great Court at the heart of the Palace.
Around sixty chalets filled the Great Court in 2023 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 2023 figures, over 180,000 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. Although admission to the Christmas Market is free, over 287,000 tickets were sold either for the Palace, the Light Trail or a combination of the two.
Blenheim Palace will be bursting with magic and make believe recreating the swashbuckling adventures of Peter Pan in Neverland. Visitors can follow Tinkerbell through the State Rooms as she sprinkles fairy dust over baubels and Christmas trees and wander through the moonlit London skyline and onto Mermaid Lagoon. 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'.
