Treat yourself or a loved one to a day trip to remember as you ride the British Pullman to Oxford and visit Blenheim Palace for their Christmas extravaganza

Join us on a very special day trip this Christmastime, as you travel on board the British Pullman, A Belmond Train, to visit the spectacular Blenheim Palace.

Your journey begins at London Victoria, where you'll be greeted on board the British Pullman. Take your seat in your lovingly restored carriage with a Bellini and enjoy a delicious three-course brunch as you begin your journey out into the leafy Oxfordshire countryside.

Upon arrival at Oxford Parkway station, you'll be transferred by private coach to Blenheim Palace - the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill - and where he later spent time with loved ones. Each year, this monumental baroque country house transforms into a spellbinding festive spectacle and for 2025, inspired by L Frank Baum's much-loved tale, follow the yellow brick road to The Palace of Oz, brought vividly to life inside the palace's opulent rooms.

There will also be time to explore the outdoor traditional Christmas market, perhaps buying gifts for the festive season, before you experience the breathtaking Illuminated Light Trail through the palace gardens.

After your visit, reboard the opulent train for your return journey to London. Toast to the day with a Champagne reception before savouring a delicious festive three-course meal, made with the finest seasonal ingredients, accompanied by the sommelier's choice of wines.
