Blenheim Ball 2026

Project Overview

Megaflatables supplied a bespoke 5-metre helium chrome sphere for the Blenheim Ball at Blenheim Palace on 24 April 2026. The charity event supported Starlight and brought guests together for an evening of fundraising and entertainment.

Floating above the dining space, the reflective inflatable sphere used the venue’s overhead volume to create an eye-catching centrepiece without reducing floor space.

EYE-CATCHING DESIGNS

The Brief

The brief was to deliver a striking helium inflatable centrepiece that complemented the scale and grandeur of Blenheim Palace. The installation needed to create strong visual impact while fitting around the venue’s architecture, dining layout and guest experience.

At five metres in diameter and weighing 75kg, the chrome sphere required careful handling, secure tethering and controlled positioning inside the venue.

CAPTIVATING LARGE INFLATABLES

Our Role

Working around the venue and event schedule, the team handled the 75kg inflatable carefully, secured the tethers and monitored the sphere to keep it stable and presentation-ready throughout the Blenheim Ball.

We had a great experience working with Megaflatables for a three-day event. Owen from the Sales Team was professional, helpful and attentive from start to finish, ensuring our requirements were fully met.

Owen was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! We were a little bit chaotic our end and everything was pretty last minute, but Owen was so helpful, patient and on it throughout. Communication was so easy, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even when he was off John stepped in for some reassuring words when I was updating on progress. Would 100% recommend MegaInflatables. Great service, great people and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks again, Owen!

A huge thank you to Owen for helping us bring our school mascot to life! From our initial ideas to the finished mascot costume, Owen was fantastic throughout the whole process. He was incredibly helpful, professional and worked with us to make sure everything was just right. The finished result is brilliant, and it's been wonderful to see our mascot go from a design on paper to a real-life character that our students can enjoy! We couldn't be happier with the service or the final product. Thank you, Owen – we would highly recommend!
