A children's TV programme is the inspiration for a new, interactive experience at Blenheim Palace.

Pip and Posy Play at the Palace is now open in Blenheim Palace’s adventure play area, bringing to life the characters from the popular pre-school series.

The 3D, interactive experience, which will run for two years, invites young visitors and their families to take part in a rainbow treasure hunt.

Adventure play has been transformed with life-size 3D character installations, themed activities, soundscapes, and a treasure trail.

Visitors can also listen to stories from the Pip and Posy books in a dedicated storytelling area.

Children will have a chance to meet Pip and Posy during special appearances throughout the trail period.

This pass provides access to both the palace and adventure play for a full year.

A family pass for four people - two adults and two children - costs £165, while individual day passes are £51 per adult and £41 per child.

Adventure play is a £3.6 million outdoor attraction located within the palace's walled garden.

It is the biggest family-themed attraction in the history of Blenheim Palace.
