Exeter has plenty to do this half term holiday

Published: 14 February 2023

Exeter has plenty to keep the children occupied this half term holiday, with lots going on in the city.

Exeter has plenty of family-friendly attractions, most of which are holding special half-term activities.

The Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery in Queen Street, has a jam-packed activity guide throughout the week to keep the kids busy, including family show Operation Earth, the chance to create your own special miniature ‘den’ inspired by nature, and an exciting adventure in the Explorer Dome.

Why not take a trip below the city pavements and visit Exeter’s Underground Passages. These medieval passages were originally designed to bring clean drinking water to the city and were used as air raid shelters during the Blitz. Book a guided tour and visit an exciting interpretation centre.

Don't miss a visit to Exeter Cathedral to see the giant representation of Planet Earth suspended from the Cathedral’s famous nave ceiling. This stunning piece of work by internationally acclaimed artist Luke Jerram is on display throughout February. Stop by St Nicholas Priory, Exeter's oldest building, for drop-in craft sessions during the week!

Young adventurers can sign up for action-packed activities at Haven Banks, including kayaking or a day of camp cooking and bushcraft on Exeter Quayside or even try out a holiday taster session at Exeter’s Clip 'n' Climb.

For family theatre events, take a look at the programmes for Exeter Northcott Theatre and Exeter Phoenix for shows that will entertain the whole family!
