Step into a world of festive enchantment as the British Pullman and Blenheim Palace unite for a truly magical winter’s day out. From the moment you board this vintage train to your final steps along the palace’s glowing Illuminated Light Trail, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create an unforgettable Christmas escape.
Your day begins at London Victoria Station, where the British Pullman awaits. After checking in, settle into your seat and enjoy a sparkling Bellini (or an equally indulgent alcohol-free alternative) served alongside a sumptuous seasonal brunch. Sit back and relax as wintry countryside scenes unfold beyond your window.
Upon arrival at Oxford Parkway Station, you’ll be escorted by private coach to Blenheim Palace. Your visit includes timed entry to The Palace of Oz experience, time to browse the festive market, and a stroll through the spectacular Illuminated Light Trail — a feast for the senses that perfectly captures the joy of the season. We recommend dressing in warm layers and wearing comfortable footwear for your time off the train.
At the end of the day, rejoin the British Pullman and raise a glass of Champagne to toast the day’s adventure. As you journey back to London, enjoy a celebratory three-course festive dinner, served with half a bottle of wine or a premium alcohol-free pairing. Round off the evening with tea or coffee, arriving back at London Victoria in relaxed, refined comfort.
