About the trip
Blenheim Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only non-Royal palace in England. Built by the Dukes of Marlborough in the 18th century, it is considered the finest example of Baroque architecture in the UK.
Researchers at Oxford have been working with Blenheim to help tackle the major challenges facing the site today, including responses to climate change and shifting audience needs and expectations. Join us for this behind-the-scenes visit where we will explore the site’s many layers, hear from Blenheim staff and Oxford researchers working on the collaboration, and find out more about learning and engagement opportunities at this leading heritage attraction.
Exact timings will be shared closer to the date, but we hope to meet outside the Radcliffe Humanities building at 9.30am to take a bus to Blenheim Palace. We are planning to be back in Oxford at approximately 4.30pm.
