Ever organised an event at a Unesco World Heritage site before?

Now’s your chance as Blenheim Palace has released details of its 2018 corporate events offering.

All eyes are on the Grade I-listed building’s Orangery this year as it’s been announced there will be ‘extended hire options’ for conferences and banquets on selected dates. That means you can now book this special space in the daytime (hitherto used as a visitor restaurant till 5.30pm) as well as the evening – or both for a full-day thing. This is all on a per-enquiry basis, though, so maybe get on the phone.

The private venue has its own terrace looking out over the Italian Garden and will seat 200 guests for dinner or 300 for standing drinks receptions. 

Elsewhere, there’s a bunch of event spaces available all day, every day (apart from Christmas day). This includes the Palace itself, which can be shut down for very important, very massive events.
