Get ready for a joyful, activity‑packed Summer of Play at Killerton! From 18 July to 6 September, the estate transforms into a vibrant outdoor playground filled with games, creativity, and adventure for visitors of every age.
Each day, families can explore unique play areas, each designed to spark imagination, movement, and discovery. Get Active: Burn off energy with frisbee golf and loose‑parts play perfect for balancing, building, and inventing. Create & Imagine: Budding artists can unleash their creativity with outdoor art equipment, while performers take centre stage in a mini theatre complete with dressing‑up costumes. Explore Nature: Head to the nature zone to identify bugs, dig into the mud kitchen, and enjoy hands‑on outdoor learning. Relax & Recharge: After all that excitement, unwind in the quiet zone with giant beanbags and an outdoor library — a peaceful spot to rest or read.
With plenty of covered areas, the fun continues come rain or shine.
There will also be mid-week led activities, check back to this page for more details.
Members visit for free; normal admission fees apply for non-members. All play activities are included with entrance.
