About

Make Killerton part of your Christmas tradition this year.

Experience the magic of a 1923 Christmas in the house with the Acland family. Wander through rooms adorned with traditional festive decorations and immerse yourself in the season.

Add a touch of nostalgia to your visit with a ride on our vintage-style helter skelter. Standing at an impressive 15.55 metres tall, this classic fairground favourite promises fun for all ages! (an additional charge of £1 per person, 6 rides for £5 to ride the helter skelter)

Playful activities and fun games for the whole family lead you through the garden, parkland and chapel grounds on our outdoor play trail.

Marvel at the creatively decorated community Christmas trees, displayed in the chapel and at locations around the property.

The house is open daily from 11am-4pm (last entry 3.30pm)*

*Killerton will be closing at 2pm on 24 December and will be closed on 25 and 26 December.

Assistance dogs only in the house and Killerton Kitchen Café.

Normal admission fees apply.
