BBC Countryfile Live in the grounds of Blenheim

BBC COUNTRYFILE LIVE RETURNS IN 2019

A four days countryside extravaganza between the 1 - 4 August 2019.

 

Will be hosted in the spectacular grounds of Oxfordshire's iconic World Heritage Site, Blenheim Palace, celebrating the very best of our countryside. 

 

Following on from what was arguably one of the biggest consumer show launches in a decade, BBC Countryfile Live 2017 welcomed over 120,000 visitors through its gates over 4 days, establishing it as one of the biggest and most popular outdoor events of the summer.

 

Returning in 2019 to Blenheim Palace’s beautiful parkland, Countryfile Live will once again create unique visitor experience and most importantly a great day out for the whole family to enjoy.

 

The hotly anticipated live show cemented Countryfile’s reputation as Britain’s most watched factual TV programme with viewing figures peaking at over 9 million viewers in 2017.

 

Packed with wholesome countryside fun, BBC Countryfile Live returns to the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace for four days of live arena shows, hands on activities, animal displays, debates, food, drink and shopping. With a whole host of exciting attractions, the show brings together everything visitors cherish about our countryside, from wildlife and farming, to outdoor pursuits and food, for everyone to enjoy.

 

There’s no better classroom or adventure playground than the great outdoors. Around every corner, you’ll find activities for children of all ages. Your explorers will be able to climb trees, snuggle guinea pigs, pet pigs, splash in canoes and more. You can witness some of nature’s spectacles, get absorbed in stories, chat to the Countryfile stars, make crafts, and learn new skills – anyone for archery? And for rumbling tums, there’ll be more ice cream and cake (as well as wholesome grub) than you could have dreamed of.  

 

If last year was anything to go by, some of the displays of wildlife, livestock and working animals will be incredible; some fascinating and eye-opening; and some will be just really darn cute. You’ll be able to join ringside shows as well as smaller interactive sessions to bring you closer to rare breeds and beautiful British wildlife. 

 

See live on stage a whole host of TV personalities as well as authors, wildlife experts, environmental commentators and leaders, countryside enthusiasts, foraging and food experts. All theatre shows are part of your main entrance ticket, and for the main Countryfile Arena show you will have a timed slot. It all adds up to a fun, inspiring and informative day out in the countryside the whole family can enjoy.

 

Sensible footwear advised. Due to the nature and layout of the show and grounds we strongly recommend that an able-bodied carer accompany those who require assistance.

 

NB. Entry to Blenheim Palace is NOT included.
