Blenheim Palace Extends Popular Bridgerton Film Trail with New Features and Experiences
Due to overwhelming popularity, Blenheim Palace has extended its highly acclaimed Bridgerton film trail until 25th November. Launched earlier this summer at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the trail invites fans to explore iconic filming locations from the Netflix and Shondaland series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, and the upcoming Bridgerton Season 3.
New Additions to Enhance the Experience
Adding to the excitement, visitors can now enjoy a Duchesses Afternoon Tea experience in the Orangery, along with live performances of popular Bridgerton tunes by the string quartet trio, Bridge Strings, on select dates in September and October.
Explore Filming Locations and Iconic Scenes
The self-guided trail offers fans the chance to follow in the footsteps of the Bridgerton cast, discovering the grandeur of the Great Court, which was transformed into a bustling scene with royal guards and carriages for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Key highlights include the Water Terraces, featured as the enchanting setting for the series' final ball scene, and the elegant State Rooms such as the Long Library and the Saloon, where pivotal moments from the series unfold.
Visitors will also explore the Water Terraces, revisited in Season 3 when the Featherington sisters appear in one of the final episodes. Fans can immerse themselves in these lavish settings while listening to renditions of songs from the series, including "Wildest Dreams," "Yellow," "Halo," "Bad Guy," "What About Us," and "Girls Like You," performed live by Bridge Strings.
Capture the Moment
At the end of the trail, visitors can capture memories with a special fan photo opportunity: a stunning archway adorned with wisteria, perfect for a Bridgerton-themed selfie.
Blenheim Palace: A Star of the Series
Blenheim Palace first appeared as Buckingham House in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, and will be featured again in Bridgerton Season 3, adding to its allure as a must-visit location for fans of the series.
