Dear Friend of Poltimore House
This is to let you know that Poltimore House and grounds will be open for Heritage Weekend – Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of September from 11am to 4pm. Admission is FREE.
This may be your last chance to take a look inside the House as major building works are due to start soon on the roofs which will put the inside of the House out of bounds for at least a year. If, in the mean time, more finances become available then this might be longer.
There will be many things going on around the site including, on the Saturday only, flights in a tethered balloon. You can also experience the award winning “Organ of Corti” – see their web site for more details – http://www.liminal.org.uk/portfolio/organ-of-corti/
There will be the usual displays but additionally will be a chance to discover the archaeology of Poltimore with the celebration of the first of the University of Exeter’s Community Landscape Project.
There is an opportunity to show your skills with a camera by entering the Poltimore Landscape Photographic competition.
And there will be food – especial the famous cakes (at very reasonable prices) washed down with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
Thank you for your continued support.

Unfortunately I shall not be able to get there this week end, which is a pity. Every year since 2002 my wife and I have had an “out of season” West Country holiday, passing through Exeter on the way. Although I have often said that I should like to visit Poltimore House, to see it even just the outside, I have yet to set eyes on the place. One day, one day…..
