Playing by the rules: fashion exhibition in the house
'Playing by the rules: Childhood, dress and imagination' will delve into the world of children's clothing within the Killerton collection, many of them part of the Margaret Bodley collection which was acquired by the National Trust in the early 1980s.
Five local Brownie and Guide units have worked with us to create future fashion designs, along with becoming young curators for one of the displays.
The exhibition opens daily 11am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).
