The incredible package—worth over £2000—includes a Palace and Play annual pass for a family of four, granting unlimited access to Blenheim Palace's historic wonders and adventure playgrounds. The winner will also enjoy exclusive VIP experiences with a private guided tour of the palace's magnificent state rooms and private apartments, plus a VIP buggy tour of the spectacular gardens led by one of Blenheim's expert guides.
Make unforgettable family memories with tickets for four to both Christmas at Blenheim Palace 2025 and Halloween at Blenheim Palace 2025—two of the most magical events in the calendar.

And to complete your experience, relax with a luxurious overnight stay for two at The Feathers Hotel in Woodstock, including dinner and breakfast at this stylish boutique destination just moments from the palace gates.
An ever-changing experience, no two visits to Blenheim Palace are the same. Visitors can expect a rich variety of cultural highlights, a programme of special events and world-class exhibitions all year round. Not to mention once-in-a-lifetime experiences including Rooftop View showcasing a breathtaking new perspective that has never been accessible before as well as the immersive Life Below Stairs exhibition where visitors can step back in time and explore the historically significant original working kitchens.
Set in over 2,000 acres of landscaped park and gardens and steeped in 300 years of history, Blenheim Palace is an iconic part of history housing one of the most extensive collections in Europe, the largest collection of living ancient oak trees, as well as the Great Lake and Queen Pool, historical temples, monuments and statues.
In the Walled Garden and Adventure Play, an entire area dedicated for families can be explored with curated events, activities and an all-new Pip and Posy themed interactive experience inspired by Magic Light Pictures' hugely popular pre-school series which airs on Sky Kids and Channel 5's Milkshake! making it an unmissable day out.
The Feathers, in the heart of historic Woodstock, reopened in October 2024 following a multi-million pound renovation. Located just moments from Blenheim Palace, The Feathers boasts an idyllic location with a selection of independent restaurants, boutiques and bakeries on the hotel's doorstep, while providing the perfect base for those wanting to discover the Cotswolds.
The interiors provide a modern take on the Grade II listed building while maintaining the building's captivating charm. Each of the 23 rooms and suites, restaurant, bar and lobby have been reimagined.
The Feathers is home to The Nest; an exciting new brasserie led by Head Chef Luke Rawicki where local produce, traditional British fare and unexpected flavour combinations come together under one roof as well as The Aviary Bar; a local hotspot with an impressive wine list and cocktail menu and soon-to-be-launched terrace and pizza oven.

Sun-soaked city in Europe with beaches and £2 pints not mobbed with tourists
It might not be the first place you think of when it comes to sun, sea and sand - but you can actually fly to a city with tropical beaches in If you're a sun-lover on the hunt for a city boasting beautiful beaches, distinctive architecture and vibrant nightlife, you might think Barcelona is your only option, but that's not so. Riga in Latvia may not be as renowned as its Mediterranean counterpart, but it's equally deserving of a visit. Plus, it's closer to the UK and significantly cheaper than Barcelona. Dining at budget-friendly restaurants will cost you around €11 on average, and you can enjoy a half litre of beer in a bar for a mere €2.50, according to top cost of living database Numbeo. It's all within easy reach - you can jet off directly to Riga from Aberdeen airport with airBaltic for a quick two hour and 20 minute flight. The architecture in Riga is truly unparalleled, home to an array of stunning Art Nouveau buildings. These unique (and highly Instagrammable) structures hail from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Local architects like Mikhail Eisenstein, Konstantīns Pēkšēns, and Eižens Laube designed facades adorned with unusual floral motifs, mythological figures, and other elaborate and intricate patterns, reports the Daily Record. The Art Nouveau district is now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Riga is a paradise for shopaholics and food lovers alike. The colossal central market, nestled in former zeppelin hangars along the River Daugava, offers an array of goods that will leave you spoilt for choice. From gastronomic delights to keepsakes and traditional goods, it's easy to while away an entire day exploring. For those with a sweet tooth, the enchanting Black Magic Bar is a must-visit. This popular haunt specialises in a local treat known as black balsam: a traditional Latvian herbal liqueur. You can savour it neat or mixed into a cocktail. They also offer a selection of handmade chocolates, cakes, truffles and ice creams. Riga is blessed with splendid summer weather, with temperatures often reaching the mid-twenties in July and August. If you're looking to beat the heat, the city's location on the stunning Bay of Riga provides ample beach options. The three nearest beaches are Vakarbuļļi, Daugavgrīva and Vecāķi. Each one features a café, street vendors, benches, changing cabins, volleyball areas and much more. Additionally, there are three swimming spots within Riga itself, near the city centre - Lucavsala, Lucavsalas līcis and Kipsala - all equipped with lifeguards and changing cabins. For those willing to explore a bit further, the stunning Jūrmala beach awaits as Latvia's coastal gem. A mere stone's throw from Riga by train, it's conveniently close to the station. A beachgoer who was charmed by Jūrmala said in a review: "Changing pods are available on the beach and the sand is soft and flat. We paid €5 each for a sun lounger for the day, although in the afternoon people could help themselves to ones that were left or that people had finished with. Well worth the journey from Riga which is about 25 mins by train from central Riga and very cheap. We booked the day before online and it cost us about €6 return for both of us - amazing value."
