25p off when you use a reusable cup

Every time you present a reusable cup when you order a hot drink at our cafe and kiosk, we'll give you 25p off as a thank you for helping the environment by reducing the number of disposable cups used.

Plant shopping

After looking around the RHS-accredited garden, you may feel inspired to make some changes to your own plot. Browse a range of stylish plant pots, tools and garden accessories, or – for a donation – pick up a planting list and recreate your own slice of Coleton Fishacre's garden at home. Outside, the courtyard is full of seasonal plants chosen to reflect what's growing in the garden.

Shopping for young explorers

There are plenty of games, story and sticker books, and traditional toys to help children tick off some of the '50 things to do before you’re 11¾’ challenges this season.

The second-hand bookshop

Found on Seemly Terrace overlooking the Rill Garden, the second-hand outdoors bookshop is a garden shed paradise. There are pre-loved fiction books, walking maps and titles focused on nature, travel and the outdoors.

Donating pre-loved books

Have some gardening books no longer needed? Or perhaps walking maps, trails or pre-loved fiction? We'd love to have them. Please bring your unwanted books with you when you visit, and leave them with the team in the Visitor Reception. Or if you have more than a few, get in touch via email coletonfishacre@nationaltrust.org.uk or by calling 01803 842382. Every penny raised through second-hand book sales goes to the conservation of this special place.
