AN UPDATE FROM POLTIMORE HOUSE - FEBRUARY 2026
With grateful thanks to the The National Lottery Heritage Fund and generous private donors, we're delighted to report a breakthrough in bringing Poltimore House back to life!
Despite the disastrous arson attack in 2024, much of architectural and historic value remains in the House and we're committed to keeping it safe. Work on safeguarding the most vulnerable parts of the building, including dismantling parts of the fire-damaged scaffolding, is now underway. This helps to reduce risks to the historic structure and opens the way to an imaginative new future for Poltimore House.
Poltimore House Trust's vision is to bring this amazing building back to life as a focal point for the arts, local businesses, education, wellbeing and the community.
The Trust is now seeking funding for Stage Two, which involves removing the rubble and debris from inside the House, and making the rest of the structure safe.
Meanwhile our architects are working on new plans for Poltimore House, and we will shortly begin consultations with the community and potential partners about its long-term future. Get in touch if you'd like to be part of our exciting journey!
Branches Cafe & Farmshop and the Grounds are currently open every day from 10.00-15.30 apart from Tuesdays and Wednesdays - come and see us soon!
