Help us bring Grade II* listed Poltimore House & Grounds back to life

Set in 13 acres, Poltimore House and Grounds on the outskirts of Exeter is a beautiful, tranquil and historic place to visit.

We welcome visitors to Branches Café and Martinsfield Farm Shop every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10.00 – 15.30. Entry to our lovely Grounds is free during Café opening hours, but we’re always grateful for donations to help restore this amazing place.

Rising from the Ashes

Despite the terrible arson attack in the early hours of 9th April 2024, much of architectural and historic importance remains in this historic Devon mansion.

Poltimore House Trust is as committed as ever to bringing this very special place back to life as a focal point for art, community, creative business, education and wellbeing.

We’re a volunteer-led charity with a great team. Discover more – and be part of our restoration adventure!

THIS WEEKEND!

We are delighted and excited in anticipation of this weekend’s wonderful craft fair at Poltimore House and Grounds, featuring our sensational stallholders and their stunning crafts, photography, jewellery, skin care and much more.

You are sure to find the perfect item to make someone smile (or perhaps even something just for you to enjoy!)

As well as excellent shopping there will be Awesome Alpacas to see on Saturday – they always make us laugh and they are so gorgeous to feed! On Sunday there will be lots of music with entertainment by the Male Voice Choir Resonate and the Rock Choir.

Branches Cafe & Farmshop will certainly be open so you can enjoy scrumptious refreshments and take some yummy local food home for the weekend too!

All in all it is set to be a wonderful weekend – and we do hope you will join us!

PS – if you can’t make it this weekend (or even if you can!), come back for our second Craft Weekend on 1st-2nd August!
