Group Visits

A changing calendar of colourful events, great Devon food, a good choice of accommodation for groups, visitor attractions for all ages and ample coach parking - Exeter is the perfect destination for your next group visit!

With so much to see and do whatever your interests, Exeter is a great destination for a day trip or longer visit. Whether your group is interested in shopping, heritage and culture, the outdoors, or food and drink, we have it all! 

Exeter is the regional capital for culture, leisure and shopping. With over 2000 years of history, there are some fascinating attractions, including the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, the unique Underground Passages and the world class Royal Albert Memorial Museum. Historically a major port, Exeter Quayside is now focused towards leisure, with a number of cafes and restaurants where your group can relax and maybe enjoy a traditional cream tea! 

Planning a group Christmas shopping trip to Exeter? There are hundreds of shops, both high street and independents where you can get that extra special Christmas gift, or head to the annual Exeter Christmas Market on Cathedral Green to soak up the festive atmosphere.

Exeter hosts some of the region's major events, such as the Devon County Show in May, and big name musical concerts at Powderham Castle and Westpoint Exeter.
