Cinderella leaves glass slipper at Oxford landmarks to promote Blenheim Palace

Published on

Cinderella has made a surprise appearance around Oxford, with the fairytale figure spotted leaving a glass slipper at prominent city sights.

She was seen on the steps of the Radcliffe Camera, the History of Science Museum and the Mound at Oxford Castle Prison.

The appearances form part of the promotion for Blenheim Palace’s Christmas event, Cinderella Inside the Palace, which runs from November 13 to January 3, 2027.

Festive displays and theatrical installations will feature at the palace, where Cinderella will also greet visitors.

Blenheim Palace holds UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

Admission costs begin at £43 for adults and £26 for children aged three to 16.

Tickets for infants cost £2, while a family ticket covering two adults and two children is available for £118.

Oxford sightings also form part of a broader promotional campaign for the palace event.

Separately, Stories with Santa: Christmas at Oxford Castle will take place from December 5 to 23.
