Cotswold Tours
Step into a festive fairytale with our Cotswolds Christmas & The Palace of Oz at Blenheim Palace tour. A magical winter day combining charming Cotswold villages, a cosy pub, and one of England’s most spectacular Christmas events. Beginning around midday from your hotel, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive through the rolling countryside, visiting picturesque towns such as Burford, Bibury, and the elegant Daylesford Farmshop for a touch of luxury Christmas shopping. The day can be tailored to include Downton Abbey’s village of Bampton or a stop at Clarkson’s Farm Shop for a taste of the rural Cotswolds.
After a leisurely afternoon exploring, we can pause for a late country pub lunch or festive snack, soaking in the warmth and atmosphere of a traditional English inn or restaurant. As the afternoon fades, the tour continues to Blenheim Palace, where the grand “Palace of Oz” event transforms this historic estate into a world of wonder. Wander through the festive market featuring local artisans and English Christmas delights before stepping inside the palace itself around 3:30 pm to experience its opulent themed decorations.
As dusk falls, enjoy the option of following Blenheim’s illuminated Light Trail (4:30–6:30 pm) — a breathtaking journey through the palace gardens fun for all ages— or, if preferred, we can whisk you away for a relaxed dinner at a nearby countryside pub before returning to your hotel. This private tour captures the very best of the Cotswolds’ Christmas charm and the magic of Blenheim Palace, perfectly balanced for a day of festive indulgence and English elegance.
The Palace of Oz starts from 14th Nov 2025 – 3rd Jan 2026. This tour would start around 12 noon-7pm
