Blenheim Palace launches revamped Orangery space for events

The Orangery at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire is now available to host bespoke events, offering a blend of contemporary elegance and heritage within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Capable of seating up to 150 guests or accommodating 250 for standing receptions, the space is suited to conferences, gala dinners, company anniversaries, and celebratory events.

A spokesman for Blenheim Palace said: “The Orangery provides a versatile and bright space with beautifully appointed interiors and a private terrace overlooking the gorgeous South Lawn and Duke’s Italian Garden.

“For bespoke events, the adjacent space opens onto an Italian Terrace which overlooks the private Italian Garden – the perfect set-up for hosting outdoor drinks and barbecues.”

The Orangery underwent a £2 million renovation in 2024, which saw its glass ceiling replaced with a timber and slate structure reflecting Sir John Vanbrugh’s original design.

Blenheim Palace offers other event spaces, including the Marlborough Room, Great Hall, Saloon, and Long Library, as well as several outdoor locations.

Dining experiences make use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the palace’s own kitchen garden.

The dedicated hospitality team works closely with clients to create tailored event packages.

The Orangery can also be booked with the adjoining campaign rooms as part of the Orangery Complex.
