Have Ewe Heard? Pig News from Blenheim Palace

With the summer holidays approaching, Blenheim Palace has announced a new addition; Marlborough Mini Farm where visitors can see chickens, pigs, goats, and sheep. From 21st July to 1st September, Blenheim Palace will be home to the Marlborough Mini Farm for the first time.




 

The all-new mini farm will host a charming collection of farm animals including Berkshire pigs, gloriously plumed Buff Orpington chickens, wonderfully shaggy Cotswold sheep and characterful English goats. All of the breeds are recognised by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and are Red List / Priority Breeds as they are native livestock breeds, considered at risk and are being monitored for conservation. Marlborough Mini Farm creates the perfect opportunity for families to meet these animals and discover what makes each one so special.

 

Families visiting Britain’s Greatest Palace between 25th June and 1st September 2026 can take advantage of the Great British Summer Savings with reduced admission prices across all ticket types and savings on children’s meals.

 

Explore Blenheim Palace with a valid Palace & Gardens Ticket or Palace and Play Pass, which grants access to both Blenheim Palace and Adventure Play for a full year, to enjoy all that Britain’s Greatest Palace has to offer including a sensational line-up of events. 

 

As a charity, each visit helps protect Blenheim Palace; honouring the past, enriching the present and shaping the future to inspire generations to come. All admission income and donations are reinvested into the vital work of caring for the Palace, its collections and its extraordinary landscape. Gift Aid helps your support go even further.
