Coming from Woodstock
Woodstock sits at the gates of Blenheim Palace, with a high street of stone houses, small hotels and good places to eat.
Woodstock hotels look after a lot of visitors. A class here is a different kind of day out from the usual palace tour.
At about 40 minutes each way, the full day Masterclass gives you the most for the drive. Lunch is included and you are home by early evening.
