Exeter's Cultural Highlights

Exeter’s cultural landscape spans centuries, from the 14th-century vaulted tunnels of the Underground Passages to the Victorian architecture of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. The city’s performing arts scene is anchored by the Northcott and Barnfield theatres, while religious and civic history is preserved in the 11th-century St Petrock’s Church and the ruins of St Catherine’s Almshouses. Further south, Topsham Museum documents the region's maritime heritage within 17th-century merchant houses. This selection highlights the city's archaeological sites, historic churches, and dedicated spaces for art and performance.
