BLENHEIM Palace has been dressed in white for the festive season.

The decoration, which sees the World Heritage Site covered with icicles, snowflakes, and silver white birches, will stay up until Friday. The dining table will be covered with crystal glasses and white linen, and costumes from the English National Ballet The Snow Queen will also be on show.

Visitor services assistant Andrew Frost, pictured, said: “This is one of my favourite times of the year at the palace, the whole team gets involved to help decorate for Christmas. It’s a magical day out for families.”
