Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace welcome ‘The Peter Rabbit Garden Adventure

In the appropriately historic surroundings of Blenheim Palace, Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit is celebrating his 120th anniversary through a magical mix of storytelling, live performance, and puppetry, on a journey around the grounds of this beautiful location.

Developed in association with Frederick Warne & Co. (brand owner and part of Penguin Random House Children’s), this is the first time Peter Rabbit has appeared in this way, and is also a first for World Heritage Site Blenheim Palace which has allowed unprecedented access for families trying to save Peter Rabbit from ending up in Mr. McGregor’s rabbit pie.

This summer, young Beatrix Potter Beatrix invites you to join her on an adventure to find her mischievous friend Peter Rabbit, as she leads guests through never-before-seen spots in the Palace’s walled garden. Moving from flower and vegetable gardens to greenhouses and potting sheds, you’ll get a glimpse of the estate no-one else has seen, whilst meeting friends Jemima Puddle-Duck, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Mr. Jeremy Fisher along the way. Watch out for many more surprises on your journey!

This 50 minute immersive adventure should be the star in the calendar of any child who loves to explore the great outdoors, any family who treasures spending time together in nature, and any fan of the most beloved rabbit in children’s literature which has sold over 250 million copies since he first appeared at the start of the 20th century. A must-visit summer attraction for all ages looking to combine history, adventure and education.

Created by the team behind ‘Autumn Treasure Hunt with Percy The Park Keeper’ At Chiswick House & Gardens and ‘Paddington Marmalade Messiness’ in Dalkeith Country Park, ‘The Peter RabbitTM Garden Adventure – a live immersive experience’ releases tickets on 18th May, before opening to guests on 6th July 2022 – 3rd September 2022.
