Pip and Posy Play at the Palace now open at Blenheim Palace
Blenheim Palace has announced that Pip and Posy Play at the Palace is now open within its immersive Adventure Play area, welcoming young visitors and their families to dive into the world of the beloved characters.
Running for the next two years, this enchanting 3D interactive experience invites children to join Pip and Posy on a 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!
The new experience completely transforms Adventure Play with life-size 3D character installations, themed activities, soundscapes, and a magical treasure trail that promises giggles, surprises, and plenty of photo moments for long lasting family memories.
Visitors wanting to take a well-earned rest can listen to tales from the Pip and Posy books, published by Nosy Crow, in the story-telling area and there will be an opportunity for fans to meet the playful pair themselves in special appearances at select times during the trail period.
Families looking to take part in the Pip and Posy Adventure will need a Palace and Play Pass, which grants access to both Blenheim Palace and Adventure Play for a full year, making it fantastic value for regular visitors. A Palace and Play Pass is available at £165 for a family of four (two adults and two children) and at £51 per adult and £41 per child for individual day passes.

About Adventure Play
Adventure Play at Blenheim Palace is a £3.6 million outdoor adventure experience located within the historic Walled Garden. It is the biggest family-themed attraction in the history of Blenheim Palace.
The area includes a series of immersive interconnecting zones with secret chambers, clamber nets, tunnels, slides, rope bridges – and giant carrots! 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 Gate.
The inclusive experience has been carefully designed and created to ensure children of all abilities are able to explore and enjoy the extensive play areas.
To bring the project to life, Blenheim partnered with renowned children’s play design company CAP.co and award-winning Oxfordshire family construction firm, Kingerlee
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 park and gardens, it was designed by Vanbrugh in the Baroque style and is also the birthplace of one of Britain’s most famous leaders, Sir Winston Churchill.
With over 300 years of history to share and one of the most important and extensive collections in Europe, the magnificent stately home has a rich variety of cultural highlights and an extensive programme of special events and exhibitions.
The total Estate expands into a further 10,000 acres outside of the designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and focuses on care for the land through sustainable means, pursuing net zero, the growth of the local economy, the provision of affordable homes, apprenticeship training and supported community groups as part of its ambition to make this part of Oxfordshire a fairer and better place.
