This Easter, Blenheim Palace is inviting families to embark on a treasure hunt with its Golden Giveaways experience from 5th to 17th April 2025. The exciting treasure hunt will add another layer of fun for visitors exploring the award-winning Palace, Estate, and Adventure Play.
Each weekday, a golden egg will be hidden somewhere on the Estate, waiting to be discovered by a lucky family. Those who find the egg will win one of several fantastic prizes up for grabs, which could include:
- A Palace and Play Pass worth £165
- A lunch at the Walled Garden Pizzeria up to the value of £74
- A family ticket to Christmas at Blenheim Palace worth £209
- Tickets to Blenheim Palace’s Halloween Light Trail valued at £80
- A voucher to spend on Adventure Play goodies in the Palace shop valued at £40
- A full set of Cressida Cowell’s How to Train Your Dragon novels worth £95 courtesy of Hachette Children’s Group
- Afternoon Tea in The Orangery worth £106
As part of Golden Giveaways, exciting clues to the egg’s location will be shared daily across Blenheim Palace’s social media channels, encouraging families to follow along, keep their eyes peeled and join the hunt. Once found, winners can follow the simple instructions to notify a Palace Host to claim their prize.
Alongside the Golden Giveaways, young explorers can immerse themselves in Adventure Play, the biggest family-themed attraction in the Palace’s history and has been carefully designed and created to ensure children of all abilities from the ages of 2-12 are able to explore and enjoy the extensive play area. Covering a site larger than a football pitch, it celebrates the rich heritage of the 18th century baroque Palace, inspired by real-life features including the lakeside Boat House and Hensington Gateway.
The Golden Giveaways will be followed by Blenheim Palace’s much-loved Easter activities, including:
- Circus Workshops (10am – 4pm, included in admission) at the Big Top
