The ground floor of Killerton house is traditionally dressed with lush green garlands, sparkling trees, decorative fireplaces and hand-made delights. The centre-piece of this year's display is the internationally acclaimed 'Red Dress Project'. See: https://reddressembroidery.com. Outdoors, playful activities for all ages lead you through the gardens, parkland and Chapel grounds. These are inspired by games from around the world, shared with us by our local communities. Trees, lovingly dressed by local groups adorn the Chapel. Please note that the house is open from 11am-4pm. Last entry to the house is 3.30pm. Killerton is closing at 2pm Christmas Eve (last entry to the house 1.30pm), and closed on Christmas day and Boxing day.
