Celebrate the extraordinary life of Sir Winston Churchill with us this year as we mark 150 years since his birth. Discover the pivotal moments that unfolded here at Blenheim Palace – from his birth to his heartfelt proposal to beloved wife Clementine Hozier.
With photographs, letters, artefacts and excerpts from his most famous speeches, you'll gain a real sense of our ‘Greatest Briton’.
This permanent exhibition is free with a Palace, Park & Gardens ticket or valid Annual Pass.
Sir Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim and returned often during his long life for parties, to paint and to spend time with his cousin and close friend ‘Sunny’, 9th Duke of Marlborough. He also chose to propose to his beloved wife, Clementine at Blenheim. The exhibition is located in an area of the Palace overlooking the Water Terraces used as an artist’s studio by the wartime leader. Blenheim’s rich military history provided huge inspiration for Churchill’s own career.
