Blenheim Palace Rooftop View experience to open for visitors
From 24th May 2025, visitors to Blenheim Palace will be in for an exhilarating adventure as they get the opportunity to ascend to the rooftops of Britain’s Greatest Palace and witness breathtaking views of the Grand Bridge and Great Court, including the famous Column of Victory. The Blenheim Palace Rooftop View will operate daily from 10.30am to 4.30pm and is included as part of the Palace & Gardens (P&G) ticket or Annual Pass, at no additional cost.
This immersive experience is entirely free-flow, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace, with a recommended dwell time of around 30 minutes to allow for the climb, view, and descent.
Rooftop View is designed to be accessible to the majority of visitors, though guests should be aware that stair access is the primary route. Full safety guidelines are in place to be strictly adhered to and can be found on the webpage.
This one-of-a-kind opportunity offers visitors to marvel at unbeatable, panoramic views over the Estate and the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside from a never-before-seen vantage point above the UNESCO World Heritage Site for the first time in its 75-year history.
The specially designed viewing platform will only be available for a limited time only due to the launch of its most ambitious project to date. The historic roof project is a revolutionary restoration that aims to preserve the architecture and safeguard the heritage of Blenheim Palace for generations to come.
Blenheim Palace first opened its doors to the public 75 years ago to raise funds for essential roof conservation work. This pivotal £12 million restoration project, now underway, focuses on repairing a significant section of the Palace roof, helping to futureproof Britain’s Greatest Palace against the elements and preserve its architectural splendour.
Admission is included with a valid Palace & Gardens Ticket or Palace and Play Pass which grants access to both Blenheim Palace and Adventure Play for a full year, making it fantastic value for visiting to enjoy all that Britain’s Greatest Palace has to offer.
