Movie goers will spot Blenheim Palace as a film location for several scene’s in Ridley Scott’s current cinema epic, Napoleon, and coach groups will be able to explore some of the areas used in the sets.

The Blenheim Estate was used as the location for some of the film’s intense battle scenes. The palace’s great hall and library, main saloon, and the state rooms were also used as sets for many of the key scenes in the film.

Heather Carter, Managing Director at Blenheim Palace, said:

“We were delighted to have welcomed Sir Ridley Scott and his team. Not only is it a great opportunity for people to see the beautiful palace and its grounds, but filming like this helps provide vital income for our charity, which is dedicated to funding important ongoing restoration projects and community initiatives such as our ongoing apprenticeship scheme.”

Visitors can also go behind the scenes of some of the most famous blockbusters in cinematic history, which have used Blenheim Palace as a location, from Harry Potter and James Bond, to The BFG, and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.
