BLENHEIM Palace’s food festival is set to return with a special jubilee theme this year.

Running from June 2 to 5 to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee, the festival will feature Raymond Blanc, Italian legend Gennaro Contaldo and Great British Bake Off’s Karen Wright.

Now in its eighth year, the Blenheim Palace Food Festival will also feature balloon modelling lady Twistina and ‘gastronaut’ Stefan Gates’ food and science show.

Giffords Circus will be stopping off at Blenheim from June 2 to 6.

On the first day of the festival, Blenheim will join communities across the country to light a beacon to mark the Queen’s jubilee.

Visitors to the palace will be able to follow a jubilee trail and see the dress worn by Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill, who was one of the Queen’s maids of honour at her 1953 coronation.
