Visit Exeter’s latest update highlights the newly-opened Quayside Distillery as the perfect place to learn the art of gin making. Situated on Exeter’s historic quayside, the site incorporates a modern distillery offering tours where groups can learn about innovative distillation methods and sample the spirits made onsite. The gin school also allows groups to create and make their own gin, alongside a bar area serving creative cocktails and carefully selected drinks, as well as nibbles, sharing boards and a shop.

Leonardo Hotel Exeter, formerly Jury’s Inn Exeter, offers 170 bedrooms in a convenient city centre location. Whatever your group’s needs, Leonardo Hotel Exeter is the perfect base for your stay in Exeter. As well as being comfortable and stylish, the hotel prides itself on its staff who will make sure you feel right at home. Facilities include an all-day bar menu, room service, laundry and dry-cleaning, all-day Costa Coffee Bar, seasonal restaurant menu from 6pm, meeting rooms and free WiFi throughout the hotel.

And if you haven’t set sail with Stuart Line Cruises before, then 2023 should be the year to get on board. This multi-award-winning, family-run passenger boat company, operating since 1968 from the traditional seaside town of Exmouth in Devon, provides a wide range of cruises on the calm-assured waters of the River Exe throughout the year. They also offer winter Guided Bird Watching cruises and Day Trips to the English Riviera as well as outstanding circular cruises of East Devon’s Jurassic Coast – England’s Only Natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition, Exeter Canal Cruises operate on select dates throughout the year, landing in the heart of the cathedral city of Exeter, allowing passengers to explore the historic quayside and soak up its cosmopolitan atmosphere.
