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.
