A pumpkin carved with the face of Sir Winston Churchill, who was born at Blenheim, is part of a spooky Halloween table setting welcoming visitors to the magnificent 18th century Baroque palace.

The display is among a series of fun activities taking place at the Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site in the run up to Halloween on Sunday.

The prime ministerial pumpkin was created by Julia Charles Event Management to mark National Pumpkin Day on 26th October.

As well as the Palace, visitors can also hop on board a ghost train, listen to scary stories and even have a go at their own carved pumpkin creations. There's also a brand new after-dark outdoor Halloween trail to explore.
