The story of Sleeping Beauty with a contemporary twist…at Blenheim Palace.
Explore the Palace rooms transformed by the retelling of this classic fairy-tale for a new generation, from the Great Hall filled with an enormous glistening Christmas tree to the candle-lit bedchamber where Aurora sleeps, watched over by the Lilac Fairy.
Wander through the evil fairy’s lair filled with toads, potions and menacing crows, then onto the busy castle kitchen frozen in time. Along the way, watch out for spinning wheels, fluttering fairies, and vines creeping everywhere as the story unfolds.
Looking for a happy-ever-after, the Lilac Fairy helps True Love to find a way through the woods, and together they reawaken the castle after 100 very sleepy years….
