There are lots of new sights this year, including Blue Neuron, created from reworked heat-treated plastic bottles, and Heart of Stars, a lighting effect which scatters thousands of tiny refracted beams across the path leading to the Rose Garden.

Dominic Hare, chief executive Officer at Blenheim Palace, said: “You really do feel as though you are in the midst of a fairy-tale woodland. I am confident that a wander through our spectacular gardens, illuminated by over one million lights, will bring joy to our visitors this winter.”

The lights show has been provided by leading events promoter Raymond Gubbay Limited, a division of Sony Music, in partnership with Blenheim Palace. The trail is created by Culture Creative.

If Covid-19 government legislation requires cancellation, you can re-book your slot, get a refund, or transfer your ticket to next year.

Places are more limited this year due to social distancing.
