A key highlight is the Adventure Play attraction in the Walled Garden, the biggest family-themed attraction in the Palace’s history, featuring secret chambers, rope bridges, and water jets.

Visitors can also take part in the Pip and Posy Rainbow Treasure Hunt, inspired by the popular children’s TV series.

Costumed characters of Pip and Posy will be meeting young fans on May 30 and 31.

The programme also includes the Blenheim Palace Food Festival, which runs from May 23 to 25 and features a fantastic line-up of celebrity chefs and experts, and amazing food and drink from gourmet delights to vibrant street food.

Families can ride Winston the mini train to the Walled Garden, explore the Marlborough Maze, and enjoy pizza at the Walled Garden Pizzeria.

The Blueprints of Power exhibition is open until May 31.

The exhibition explores the life and legacy of architect and playwright Sir John Vanbrugh.
