Experience the magic of Christmas at Blenheim Palace on this luxurious day trip, with a journey on board the British Pullman, A Belmond Train

Treat yourself or a loved one this festive season on a very special day trip to remember, combining a journey on the luxurious British Pullman with a visit to Blenheim Palace.

Be welcomed by the liveried stewards as you board the train at London Victoria and take your seat in one of the lovingly restored, individually-decorated Art Deco carriages. Take time to admire the exquisite décor and craftsmanship, with authentic vintage details. As you glide through the countryside to Oxford, you'll be treated to a delicious Bellini and seasonal three-course brunch.

On arrival at Oxford Parkway Station, you'll be met by your expert guides who'll escort you on a private coach to Blenheim Palace. Each year, the palace transforms into a spellbinding festive spectacle.

During your visit, you'll explore The Palace of Oz, a dazzling reinterpretation of L. Frank Baum's much-loved tale which has been brought vividly to life inside the palace's opulent rooms. Outside, discover artisan gifts and seasonal treats at the traditional Christmas Market, before concluding your visit with the breathtaking Illuminated Light Trail through the palace gardens.

Back on board the British Pullman, settle back into your plush seat and toast to a memorable day trip with a Champagne reception. Enjoy a sumptuous three-course festive menu, using the finest seasonal ingredients, accompanied by the sommelier's handpicked wines. Your meal concludes with tea or coffee and petits fours, as the train makes its way back to London.
