Our roof is leaking at Killerton

Our roof is leaking. Water is making its way inside and we're taking action to safeguard the house and collections. We need your help to raise the last £100k towards vital roof repairs and restoration to stonework, chimneys, windows, roof lanterns and the house exterior. Will you donate to help us keep caring for Killerton for everybody to enjoy?

Major conservation is well underway 

Until October, things are a bit different as we carry out a big conservation project to care for Killerton. Find out what we're up to and changes to your visit.

What can I see and do?

Discover the story of the gift in a new exhibition inside the house.

Welcome, please come in... 

The ground floor of the house is staying open throughout the roof project. When you visit this year, you'll step inside the house and experience one of Killerton's most interesting and captivating stories.

The great outdoors 

As well as the captivating new story in the house, at 6,400 acres there's parkland, woods, orchards and the prized garden to keep you busy.

The fashion exhibition has been carefully packed away until 2018 while vital conservation work to the roof and house is carried out.

Fashion exhibition has taken a break 

We've closed the first floor so we can safely work on the roof. The fashion exhibition returns next February, until then you can keep up to date with the fashion team online.

The value of gifts in wills

Thanks to a very generous gift in a will, we've been able to make this project possible. Without legacies and donations, special places like Killerton would face an uncertain future.
