Blenheim Palace has launched its brand-new online shop, shop.blenheimpalace.com, stocked with products exclusively available from its on-site retail store at the Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The online shop's collections include Christmas hampers, books, china, clothing, food and drink and unique Palace-inspired souvenirs. Shoppers can also give the gift of choice with a voucher, available in £16.50, £28.50 and £69.00 amounts.  

The online shop is currently stocking luxury Christmas hampers – the perfect Blenheim-inspired gift – packed with an array of delicious locally-produced food and drink products.

“Our on-site shop at the Palace is very popular with our visitors and our products are exclusive to Blenheim Palace. We work closely with local producers and craftspeople to share the very best produce our local area has to offer,” said Judy Bendall, Head of Retail at Blenheim Palace.

“Even though The Palace and the shop have had to close during the November lockdown, the launch of our online shop means you can enjoy a taste of Blenheim safely at home - and even get your Christmas shopping done!”

Exclusive food and drink products available from the online shop include Blenheim Palace favourites such as Clotted Cream Shortbread Biscuits, Farmhouse Cider Chutney, Churchill's Reserve Port, Blenheim Palace Whisky Marmalade, and delicious clear Blenheim Honey produced by local apiarist Geoffrey Burroughs, from the beehives on the Blenheim Estate.

Other products and souvenirs include botanical-inspired Blenheim Silk Twill Scarves, a Blenheim Palace jigsaw puzzle, and china tea sets fit for a Duke and Duchess.

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 parkland and designed by Vanbrugh in the Baroque style, it was financed by Queen Anne, on behalf of a grateful nation, following the first Duke of Marlborough's triumph over the French in the War of the Spanish Succession.
