£500,000 At Stake Can The Palace Deliver? | Blenheim Palace S1 E3 | Our Stories

It's a week of transformations at Blenheim as a huge effort gets underway to prepare the palace and grounds for the annual international horse trials. Every year thousands of spectators flock to Blenheim to watch some of the world's top riders battle it out in show jumping, dressage and a gruelling cross-country course. As a temporary village is built in the grounds, the new sponsors of the event are taken on a tour of the palace and chat to the Duke of Marlborough about how they are to get value for money from their £500,000 sponsorship package. Elsewhere on the estate, there's a tour of the secret rooms inside the Grand Bridge. The Duchess, meanwhile, is putting the finishing touches to some interior decoration Subscribe to Our Stories: https://bit.ly/3lzSXhv This film was first broadcast: 08 Jul 1997 Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OurStoriesChannel Watch More Documentaries Up Close - youtube.com/@UpCloseITVS True Lives - https://bit.ly/3A8xRMJ Our History - https://bit.ly/3rUpdhL Our World - https://bit.ly/3ftuckM Our Stories - https://bit.ly/3ynfFyk Taste - https://bit.ly/3OZoDcV Blueprint - http://bit.ly/3ZK5UdD Welcome to Our Stories, your home on YouTube for our exciting range of fly-on-the-wall style documentaries and special access reality programmes which will give you an inside look into the everyday lives of people; exploring what life is like for those working in education, healthcare, policing and many others!
