Blenheim Paddles: Dive into Summer fun at Blenheim Palace with new water sports activities

Oxfordshire-based UNESCO World Heritage Site, Blenheim Palace has partnered up with Live Free Adventures, to launch an array of watersports, just as temperatures rise this summer.

Visitors to Blenheim Palace can now spend the day rowing, kayaking and paddleboarding on the Great Lake offering a unique opportunity to see iconic landmarks at Britain’s Greatest Palace from a new perspective.

For families, the boating options to glide across the lake on traditional rowing boats or a high-quality paddle craft provide an immersive way to explore and enjoy the great outdoors and venture around Blenheim Palace. Alternatively, for couples, the picturesque setting with stunning vistas of The Palace, The Grand Bridge provides the ideal backdrop for a warm summer day out.

Earlier this year, Blenheim Palace announced the launch of its brand-new Palace and Play Pass, which gives visitors unlimited access to Adventure Play as well as to Blenheim Palace, Park and Gardens. The Palace and Play Pass is ideal for new visitors who want to enjoy a complete family experience at Britain’s Greatest Palace, and current Annual Pass holders can also upgrade to give them unlimited access to Adventure Play.* Top tip: Any families that visit Adventure Play can show their wrist band to receive a 10% discount of water sport activities.

*A valid Annual Pass or Day Ticket is required upon entry and visitors can pre book water sport activities via the Live Free Adventures website.

About Blenheim Palace

Home to the Dukes of Marlborough since 1705, Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Set in over 2,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped park and gardens, it was designed by Vanbrugh in the Baroque style and is also the birthplace of one of Britain’s most famous leaders, Sir Winston Churchill.

With over 300 years of history to share and one of the most important and extensive collections in Europe, the magnificent stately home has a rich variety of cultural highlights and an extensive programme of special events and exhibitions.

The total Estate expands into a further 10,000 acres outside of the designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and focuses on care for the land through sustainable means, pursuing net zero, the growth of the local economy, the provision of affordable homes, apprenticeship training and supported community groups as part of its ambition to make this part of Oxfordshire a fairer and better place.
