Workshops, Conferences & Corporate Events
A Victorian space designed to inspire creative thinking and genuine collaboration
Sometimes a change of scenery makes all the difference. The Hall offers a beautiful Grade II* listed space that encourages people to engage, contribute, and think differently.
Our venue works brilliantly for board meetings, training sessions, away days, workshops, and small conferences. Natural light, high ceilings, and thoughtful acoustics create an atmosphere where ideas flow naturally. We've hosted everyone from Exeter University and Devon & Cornwall Police to local law firms, accountants, and Exeter City Football Club.
Capacity: From intimate groups of 10 to 100 guests theatre-style, or 86 seated with tables for workshops. See our seating plans → for configuration options.
