Pip and Posy Return to the Palace for New Immersive Attraction
Oscar-nominated production company Magic Light Pictures has announced it is extended its collaboration with Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site, Blenheim Palace, to relaunch a Pip and Posy Play at the Palace immersive attraction in the venue’s family themed attraction Adventure Play this May.
A firm fan favourite on Channel 5’s Milkshake! and Sky Kids, preschool series Pip and Posy is inspired by the hugely popular books from award-winning illustrator Axel Scheffler and published by Nosy Crow. Packed with warmth and comedy, the top-rating series features the adventures of two best friends whose lives revolve around play and celebrates their great friendship with all its ups and downs.
Following the huge popularity of the October half-term trail, Pip and Posy Play at the Palace will start in May and run for two years. Sited in the Adventure Play area, the new installation will guide children through a series of imaginative and engaging activities through semi-permanent Pip and Posy structures, allowing little visitors to be immersed in the pair’s wonderful world of play.
Based on the delightful episode Rainbow Treasure Hunters, the experience will encourage little explorers to complete tasks and navigate their way thro-magugh a colourful course of secret chambers, clamber nets, tunnels slides and rope bridges. The trail will receive seasonally-themed makeovers at key times of the year.
Visitors wanting to take a well-earned rest can listen to tales from the Pip and Posy books, published by Nosy Crow, in the story-telling area and there will be an opportunity for fans to meet the playful pair themselves in special appearances at select times during the trail period.
Hollie Bladen, Brand Manager at Magic Light Pictures, said: “We are thrilled to renew our relationship with Blenheim Palace for a Pip and Posy attraction in their fantastic Adventure Play area. It was wonderful to watch young children being enriched and entertained by Pip and Posy during the Autumn Trail and we can’t wait to welcome more children to experience their wonderful world of play over the next two years.”
Heather Carter, Managing Director at Blenheim Palace, said: “ We are delighted to welcome back Pip and Posy back to Blenheim Palace Adventure Play. We had great success with the Pip and Posy trail in October 2024, so being able to bring them back to the Palace in a bigger and better way will make all our little visitors very happy. Our Adventure Play area was always built to be able to bring in different themes and characters, and Pip and Posy are the perfect fit”
Pip and Posy Play at the Palace opens on 23rd May 2025 at Adventure Play. A Palace and Play pass will be required for access.
