THE NSPCC is encouraging people to take part in a fundraising walk through the grounds of Blenheim Palace.

The Blenheim Spring Walk will take place at the Woodstock stately home on Saturday, April 21, from 9.30am-11.30am.

People can take part in two, four-and-a-half or nine-mile walks to raise much-needed funds for the children’s charity.

The event will include a nature trail for children, which will take them to and then inside a large hollow tree used in the Harry Potter films.

Walkers will be able to stop at the palace’s butterfly house, maze and children’s adventure playground.

The walk attracted more than 200 people last year and raised £5,000 for the NSPCC.
