Exeter Historic Guildhall

Wonderful rooms, hidden amongst the high street. Free entry and we'll worth the time to step away from shopping and experience the ageless atmosphere. Wonderful wood carved door on entry way. Inside is large area with side seats with descriptions of holders. Fantastic stained glass window at end and ornate chandelier hanging in centre. Well worth the step back in time.

Located in the high street you cant miss the Guildhall unfortunately its closed to visitors currently so if you looking to visit check online for possible opening times. Maybe on our next visit we might get the opportunity to check out inside. So just a couple of pictures of the outside. We'll worth a visit if your in Exeter.

Historical Guildhall in Exeter - visited here during the Lord mayors coffee and cake morning on 28th March 2026 and raising money for Exeter Riding for the disabled - had a raffle and tea coffee (and refills) and cakes Had a ukulele band playing - it was open from 10 to midday Plenty of chairs and tables Great to see this whilst visiting Exeter

One of the oldest halls of England, dated back to 1160, normand foundation. Perhaps even Saxon. although the structure conserved is medieval between 15th and 16 th century. The oak door is lovely. It still continues to be the city’s council chamber, but not so long ago was the law court. The place is pretty nice. The seats have on top some names: some are majors, other benefactors, and merchants and industries. This hall was very important for the wool industry, because Exeter was one of the dominant cities and has seen lots of history... The place is usually opened from 10 am to 13 except some days which they have private events. It’s worth a visit.

Please visit this, it’s free and you get a private guide who tells you everything ajout the building. Don’t forget to ask about the monkey. You can even find it in the hall, however currently its covered a bit due to a leaking roof. We see it yourself at Exeter. And don’t forget to find the narrowest street of the world because that’s close by (direction Mc Donalds)
