Killerton is hosting a first-time seasonal event to celebrate the colours of autumn.

On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October, from 11am until 4.30pm, Killerton’s garden team will be offering special tours, activities and trails to enable visitors to discover the best parts of the historic hillside garden.

As the autumn months close in, a wide variety of trees, shrubs and flowers are starting to show their seasonal flare of vibrant colour amongst a sea of green. It’s a great time to take a walk against a stunning backdrop.

The ‘Re-discover Killerton’s garden’ event will enable garden enthusiasts to take a closer look at the shrubs, trees and plants that create the fiery reds, oranges and yellows in the garden. Visitors will also be treated to talks about the history and design of the garden and can ask for advice for their own gardens at home.
