Summer of Play

Join us for a fun filled Summer of Play at Killerton! Discover the sights and sounds of the great outdoors, with games for all ages across the property.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Fun has no age limit and there's play activities for all. Get ready for an action-packed summer of fun at Killerton. Take part in the mid-week drop-in sessions: nature-based activities on Tuesdays, team games on Wednesdays, and circus skills on Thursdays.

With 6 different play areas to choose from every day. For those who want to burn off some steam, there’s frisbee golf and loose parts play to climb and build. Unleash your inner artist and get creative with arts and crafts equipment. What a performance - there’s even a mini theatre with dressing up. Head over to the nature zone to identify bugs and look for fairy houses. After all that there’s a quiet zone, time to relax with sensory light bubbles and even an outdoor library. There’s plenty of covered areas so play can continue no matter what the weather.

Members visit for free; normal admission fees apply for non-members. All play activities are included with entrance.
