Blenheim Palace invites guests to join them for Afternoon Tea in the newly refurbished Orangery Restaurant reopening in October 2023.

In January 2023, the team at Blenheim Palace embarked on an innovative conservation project to reinstate the roof of The Orangery to its original slate composition. It is the first Grade 1 listed building to carry out a project of this kind. This process involved the removal of the existing glass ceiling, replacing it with a hand-crafted timber and slate structure. Over the course of the last three centuries, The Orangery has fulfilled a range of roles, from a greenhouse and conservatory to a theatre, an art gallery, office spaces, and most recently a restaurant.

Experience elegant dining with their Afternoon Tea menu, featuring authentically British, house-made scones, delightful, sweet treats, and an array of dainty sandwiches.

Blenheim Palace sits at the edge of the idyllic town of Woodstock, just 20 minutes from Oxford. It is also within easy reach of Birmingham and Central London.

Please note that the Palace and Gardens are not included in your Orangery booking. Guests will have access to the Car Park and Parklands.
