InExeter Quarters

Visit Exeter works in partnership with the city's Business Improvement District, InExeter, to champion the businesses within its central Exeter area. The city is divided into distinct areas, or quarters, each with its own individual identity and something different to offer.

You'll find big name brands and world cuisines in Princesshay and Guildhall Shopping, quirky independents, arts and crafts in the Castle Quarter, West Quarter and East Gate, and timeless, high quality fashion retailers and jewellers in the area around Exeter Cathedral and South Street. Magdalen Road is the village street in the heart of the city, and is the place to go for local, fresh produce.

Click on the boxes below to explore the shops, places to eat and attractions within each area.
