Blenheim Palace Festival 2026

A new outdoor music festival in the Great Court at Blenheim, with a week of major-name concerts under the palace's baroque facade.

About

Inaugurated in 2025, the Blenheim Palace Festival fills the Great Court with a temporary stage and seating for around 8,000. The 2026 line-up runs across eight nights with one headline act per evening — past years have brought Lionel Richie, Tom Jones and Bryan Adams.

Earlier doors mean dinner at the palace's restaurants is part of the offering for premium tickets; standard tickets are seated within the courtyard.

In Woodstock

A handsome Georgian market town built up against the gates of Blenheim — Churchill's birthplace and the only non-royal palace in England.
