BEST SHOPPING sponsored by Spear’s, the luxury lifestyle media brand
 |
| Blenheim Palace Gift Shop |
The team at Blenheim run 3 shops. The newest is The Children’s
Shop, selling pocket money toys, treats and fancy dress that will appeal to
kids. There is a shop selling high quality arts and crafts from the
immediate surrounding area, though for 2014 this will be a World War 1 shop
specialising in First World War memorabilia to support the major exhibition in
the house. And of course there is an exemplary gift shop which sells a
range of items including many carrying the attraction’s own brand. The judges
particularly liked a new range of items inspired by the working lives of the
household staff, called Below Stairs. And if you need the Valet’s Shoe
Polishing Kit or the Housemaid’s Bannister Brush, you can now order it online
and have it posted direct.

Others keep their heritage alive by re-creating scenes and events that have dominated and shaped England from the 9th century to the present day.
Between them they house some of the most important art collections in the world with famous works from artists such as Van Dyck and Gainsborough. The connoisseur of fine furniture, porcelain and china will find priceless examples of Chippendale, Wedgwood and Meissen.
