Pop superstar Katy Perry delivered an unforgettable night at Blenheim Palace as she headlined the inaugural Blenheim Palace Festival on Wednesday evening.

Thousands of fans packed into the Great Court to watch the global chart-topper perform a hit-filled set against the stunning backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From the opening notes of California Gurls and Teenage Dream to crowd favourites including Roar, Dark Horse and the show-stopping finale of Firework, the singer kept the audience on its feet throughout the evening.

The spectacular production combined dazzling visuals, energetic choreography and plenty of Perry’s trademark humour, with the singer joking that it had been “a long time since I played in someone’s backyard – especially Winston Churchill’s.”

One of the night’s standout moments saw Perry climb inside a giant inflatable water bottle and surf across the crowd, delighting fans as she sang and waved to the audience below.

British singer-songwriter Mimi Webb opened the evening with a well-received support set before Perry took to the stage for more than two hours of pop anthems.

Photographer Nige Brown was there to capture all the colour, energy and spectacle from an unforgettable night at Blenheim Palace.
