Back To All Exeter Venues
Exeter’s rich history dates back to the Roman Period in AD 200 when the city walls, some of which stand today, were built to protect the city. In the 13th century, the city’s stunning Gothic cathedral was built, which became a significant religious centre.
Today, Exeter is known for its stunning historical architecture, the city’s medieval heritage and its underground passages: hand-carved tunnels that reveal 800 years of the city’s history.
The restaurant scene is diverse and vibrant, offering a wide range of culinary experiences to residents and visitors alike. The city boasts a mix of locally sourced restaurants, popular chain restaurants and street vendors serving a range of international cuisines. From award winning to independent establishments, there is something to suit every taste and budget.
Foodies can explore Exeter’s various food markets including the weekly Farmers Market in the West Quarter and the city’s stunning Christmas Markets which take place on Exeter’s Cathedral Green.
Each area of Exeter has its own distinct personality and charm. Located in the city centre, Exeter Cathedral is a must-see destination, boasting one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. The Quayside is now home to restaurants, bars, antique shops and galleries and is popular for its beautiful scenic views of the River Exe.
