Meet Jack
At Blenheim Palace
Little ones can follow the trail of Jack Brock, the mischievous, miniature Shetland pony, throughout the Walled Garden. Discover what he’s been getting up to during his visit and follow the clues to find him…then finally discover Jack himself! Jack will be eagerly waiting in a petting pen in the Walled Garden to greet everyone and reward all ‘pony-detectives’ with a special book-mark and sticker.
Please note that although Jack will be in the Walled Garden every day during half term (25th May – 2nd June), his trail will only be running from Wednesday 29th May until Sunday 2nd June.
