The magical world of Alice in Wonderland combines with a stunning celebration of Christmas at Blenheim Palace in a new feature for 2019.
Visitors can step between the pages of a larger-than-life storybook into Alice’s amazing topsy-turvy world: with the chance to wander down the rabbit-hole corridor and through the Hall of Mirrors.
Some of the curiouser and curiouser characters you can meet include the White Rabbit and grinning Cheshire Cat. And there’s the chance to explore the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and rummage through a dressing up box too.

Always an exceptionally popular Christmas draw, Blenheim Palace’s Illuminated Trail will be welcoming families from across the Cotswolds once again – with some all-new installations for 2019.
The one-mile glittering path winds its way through the Blenheim Palace’s world-famous parkland in a magical after dark experience – with an aerial light show filling the sky, and illuminated waterfalls, vines and sprawling trees to enjoy.
The towering tunnel of light will once again twinkle with over 100,000 pea-lights for those magical Insta-worthy photos, with a stunning water terrace finale. Plus, look out for Father Christmas and his elves too.
