February half term fun and Kids Eat Free at Blenheim Palace

This February half term (14th February to 22nd February), wrap up and head outdoors at Blenheim Palace. There’s plenty to keep children amused, from meeting the friendly sheep in their pop up pens, making a bug home for insects to stay cosy during the colder months, enjoying Pip and Posy storytelling sessions, or making friendship bracelets. Pip and Posy fans can also enter a competition to win an amazing prize bundle.

Within the Walled Garden, families can head to the Walled Garden Pizzeria where Kids Eat Free. Children can enjoy 2 slices of margherita or pepperoni pizza and a carton of juice for free alongside any adult main course purchased. The freshly made woodfired pizzas are cooked to order and are the perfect way to fuel a fun-filled day exploring.

Young artists, writers, and Pip and Posy fans are also being given the chance to win a private play session in Adventure Play at the UNESCO World Heritage Site. To enter, Blenheim Palace are asking children to get creative by drawing and naming a new friend for the pair to join them and their friends Jamilla, Zac, Frankie, and Mo. Entries can be created using felt tips, pencils, crayons, or any artistic medium and can be submitted by downloading the template sheet, creating a work of art and submitting a photo of the finished creation to the entry form. The lucky winner will win a private play session in Adventure Play whilst the space is closed to the public, a family Palace & Play Pass, and a Pip and Posy x Blenheim Palace goodie bag. The winner will be chosen by Magic Light Pictures, the  Oscar nominated, and BAFTA winning creator of family entertainment.

Little explorers can let their imaginations run wild in Adventure Play and follow the Pip and Posy Rainbow Treasure Hunt, inspired by an episode from Pip and Posy Magic Light Pictures’ hugely popular pre-school series which airs on Sky Kids and Channel 5’s Milkshake! Located within the historic Walled Garden, the biggest family-themed attraction in the Palace’s history features a series of immersive interconnecting zones with secret chambers, clamber nets, tunnels, slides, rope bridges – and giant carrots!

Families can hop aboard Winston, the adorable mini train, for their trip to the Walled Garden and on arrival can race against time to see if they can conquer the mighty Marlborough Maze in just 10 minutes.

Access to activities in the Walled Garden are included with a valid Pass or Park & Gardens Day Ticket. Pass holders can book a single visit to Adventure Play for £5 per adult and £7 per child. Palace and Play Passes grant access to both Blenheim Palace and Adventure Play for a full year and cost £165 for a family of four, £51 per adult and £41 per child.
