Don't let the winter blues set in when Saltram is just on your doorstep. Wintery strolls in the park, snowdrop spotting in the garden and the treasure rooms open in the house, not to mention the winter warmers being served up in the Park Café.

There's family activities all week during the February half-term with indoor and outdoor fun to keep the kids the occupied. Rhyme Time returns to the house where younger children can join in with rhymes and actions in the Staircase Hall. For the more adventurous we have pond dipping in the garden hunting for frogspawn. Pick up a copy of our Rainy Day trail from the Welcome Centre for daily fun in the house and garden.
