100 years of Coleton Fishacre

A place of relaxation and enjoyment, the D'Oyly Carte family moved into the newly built Coleton Fishacre in 1926. To commemorate, we're taking a look back at the creation and the era.

  • Free event (admission applies)

In honour of Coleton Fishacre's 100 years, there'll be a series of things to see and do over this year.

Discover a pop-up photographic exhibition of archive images inside and out, documenting the building of the house and gardens. Join a guided walk with the Head Gardener on selected dates, taking a look at how the team garden for nature. In the autumn there's the return of the Earth Photo 2026 exhibition with its contemporary imagery, and to finish the year in true 1920's style, a Christmas party with a bang.
