A Neighbourhood-Feel City centre makes the city of Exeter ideal for a festive Christmas experience, with so much on offer within a short walking distance.
As well as the big-name brands in the high street, you’ll discover specialist shops in surrounding streets offering a brilliantly different range of sustainable, eco, artisan and vintage fashions, plus jewellery, crafts and gifts. Wander to the West Quarter to discover the creatives on Fore Street and explore the Castle Quarter including the quaint cobbled Gandy Street.
The historic Cathedral Quarter is a must at Christmas: you’ll find eateries and boutiques overlooking the stunning cathedral as well as the atmospheric Christmas market on Cathedral Green, open from 18 November until the 18 December. Browse for unique artisan gifts and enjoy festive food and mulled wine. The city’s Christmas lights will be switched on 17 November, and new for 2022 is the Exeter Carnival, set to light up Exeter’s streets on the evening of 26 November. Read more…
