The Poltimore Ideas Network is a new seasonal programme of inspiring evening discussions hosted at Branches Cafe at Poltimore House and Grounds. Each event brings together a guest speaker and the people of our community for an evening of conversation, curiosity and connection.
Whether you’ve lived in Poltimore all your life or live in our neighbouring community, there’s a seat for you. All are welcome and we invite you to come and connect with your local community and the PHG team. Just come along with an open mind and join in.
A friendly, welcoming setting: meet neighbours and new faces in the beautiful surroundings of Poltimore House and Grounds.
Ideas that go somewhere: conversations here help shape the future of Poltimore House and the community around it.
