Blenheim Palace’s Christmas Market Reveals Array of Award-Winning Exhibitors for 2025
Blenheim Palace’s celebrated Christmas Market returns this winter on Friday, 14th November.
Running until Sunday, 21st December, this year’s market is set to be the most enchanting to date with a range of exciting new vendors from across the country alongside the most popular artisans from 2024.
One of the UK’s most magical festive experiences, last year’s market welcomed more than 200,000 visitors and 2025 is unveiling a host of new exhibitors to add even more variety alongside an extra element of excitement.
Set within the magnificent Great Court of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and birthplace of Winston Churchill, the market transforms the Palace grounds into a dazzling seasonal village where shoppers and foodies alike can discover extraordinary gifts and indulgent treats.
This year’s hand-picked line-up promises a vibrant showcase of over 50 independent artisans from Oxfordshire and across the UK, offering a treasure trove of unique finds.
Among the standout vendors, Salcombe Distilling Co. brings its multi-award-winning gins, including the limited-edition ‘Snapes Point’ Sloe Gin a winter classic crafted with hand-foraged sloes from the South Devon coast.
Shoppers can also pick up their beautiful new Salcombe Gin Christmas Stocking gift sets, perfect for festive toasts.
For those with a sweet tooth, Chocolate Kisses returns with its famous German chocolate treats, available in the UK exclusively at Christmas markets, while Scarrott’s Traditional Sweets delights families with nostalgic favourites, from brandy snaps to fizzy cables.
Chock Shop’s artisan chocolate brownies and Georgie Porgie’s Puddings add even more temptation to the line-up.
Jewellery lovers will adore Anne-Marie Designs, where designer Holly Smyrk creates stunning, sustainable pieces using semi-precious gemstones and freshwater pearls — perfect for thoughtful gifts.
Meanwhile, Viking Horns offers something truly unusual: food-safe drinking horns ranging from 50ml shot sizes to magnificent 8-litre party horns.
With handcrafted glass decorations from Goosey Glass, luxurious homeware from Marmalade, and gourmet delights from Atrangi, Buck and Birch, and the Great British Cheese Co., there’s something here to enchant every shopper.
Visitors can warm up with mulled wine, spiced hot chocolate, or toasted marshmallows under the stars, before exploring the Palace’s breathtaking illuminated trail making Christmas at Blenheim Palace an unmissable seasonal day out.
The Christmas Market forms part of the annual Christmas at Blenheim Palace celebrations, which run from Friday 14 November to Sunday 4 January 2026.
This year’s highlights include the return of the spectacular outdoor illuminated trail, which winds through the Palace’s historic parkland in a dazzling display of light and sound. Plus, Blenheim Palace’s much-loved open-air ice rink returns for its second year this winter.
Inside, visitors can experience the all-new ‘Palace of Oz’, an immersive reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, created by the BAFTA award-winning design team at Culture Creative.
Dates: Friday 14th November - Sunday 21st December 2025 (Set-up and Evening Press Launch, Thursday 13 November)
