Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 13:19 · Archive

Blenheim Palace will transform its State Rooms into a Cinderella-themed storybook experience running from November 13, 2026, to January 3, 2027. Award-winning designers will bring the fairytale to life with a 30-foot Christmas tree and an illuminated carriage in the Great Hall. Visitors will journey through Cinderella's garden and kitchen, encountering mischievous stepsisters and helpful animal friends.

The fairy godmother's transformation scene will transport guests to a moonlit garden featuring a pumpkin carriage. The experience continues through the ball, Cinderella's midnight escape, and the Prince's search, culminating in a happy-ever-after finale in the Long Library with an interactive meet-and-greet. The experience will run alongside the Illuminated Trail, Great Skate, and the Christmas Market.

Standard ticket prices start at £43 for adults and £26 for children aged three to 16. A family ticket for two adults and two children costs £118. Blenheim Palace will donate £1 from each Cinderella ticket sold to Oxfordshire Youth, a charity celebrating its 80th anniversary.
