Episode 3
The events team have a busy weekend ahead as the Knights of Middle England arrive to perform at the jousting event held on the South Lawn, but this year they have an extra treat for guests - a medieval village showcasing ancient crafts and warfare - and one of the duelling knights is Blenheim's own, property manager, Ken.
Meanwhile in the Palace, the guides are getting into costume to create living re-enactments in the house and gardens, and Sylvan, a guide for the past decade, has the honour of opening the historic front door, carved from wood from the Blenheim forest.
The guest services team set off to the Cascades waterfall to recce locations for a bespoke tour for guests which will show an additional side to the Blenheim experience, but just as they arrive, the wheels literally come off their plan.
Back at the jousting tournament, the hot weather is causing a drama for catering and at Park Farm at the Blenheim Estate mineral water bottling plant, manager Trevor is having a nightmare. The plant has had a breakdown and the electricity board have caused a spanner in the works.
Back in the middle ages, Woodstock Manor stood across the grand bridge and head of Built Heritage Kelly, takes apprentice Aimee to the original site to teach her about the lake dredge and bridge survey as part of her studies.
Keeper of the Palace Kate is excited to receive some paintings by Winston Churchill himself and loaned some pistols originally belonging to the 1st Duke of Marlborough, and textile conservator Emma is called in to reduce the risk of damage to the ancient tapestries.
The day ends in the Great Court with the 80th celebration of D day and the lighting of the torch by the current Duke.
