Coleton Fishacre turned 100 years old in 2025, so what better way to celebrate than with a Christmas party from the Roaring Twenties.

A Great Coleton Christmas

By Christmas 1925 Coleton Fishacre was newly built, and the Great Gatsby by F. Scott. Fitzgerald had recently been published.

To celebrate the centenary, we're throwing a festive party reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. There'll be glitz, glamour and jazz as we end the year with a bang. Come back later in the year to find out more.

Winter on the coast

The coastal garden at Coleton Fishacre is perfect for winter walks and breath taking sea views. A stroll along the accessible path to Scout Point, the farthest part of the garden, is rewarded as the garden falls away and the wide ocean vista unravels before you. Nearby the South West Coast path hugs the coastline with secluded beaches and viewpoints to explore. Ideal for taking in that fresh air on a winter's day.

Festive food and drink

We've got decadent hot chocolates, spiced lattes and warming cups of tea - why not take one with you on a stroll round the garden to keep those mittens toasty? If you're stopping for a break, warm up with seasonal bites or treat yourself to a festive mince pie.
