Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Heritage Open Days also includes tours, events and activities that focus on local architecture and culture. This year's openings around the country take place between 6th and 9th September.

As part of this event there will be an opportunity to explore the historic Poltimore House site where information will be available about Poltimore's past, current and future plans and projects as part of the national Heritage Open Day Weekend for 2012.

It is hoped that the house will be open for 8th and 9th September but it is advisable to check the website nearer the time or all 01392 248938 because of on-going building works as part of its major restoration.

Poltimore House has a prominent place in Devon’s culture: one of the great historic estates of the county and BBC2's Restoration programme in 2003 brought Poltimore to national attention.

11am-4pm 

Refreshments will be available in the Chapel. Dogs on leads welcome. Free entry.
