We are inviting all Dads & Service Personnel to visit for FREE when accompanied by a paying child.

Our Archivist, Felicity Harper will be doing a fascinating talk about Powderham Castle during WW2 at 12:30 and 2:30 in the Servants Hall.

Did you know...... the current Earl of Devon was born in the state bed on the night of the Exeter Blitz? You can see the fabulous state bed and other interesting artefacts on one of our entertaining guided tours.

Felt Poppy maker, Jenny Liggins will be showing our visitors how to make felt poppies, donations to the Royal British Legion, who will also be here to support our event, optional.

Children will love to follow our WW2 Trail around the grounds to win a prize too.

All other attractions open and available as normal.
