Your Chance to Become a Red Coat in Exeter

Published: 28 August 2024

The search is on to find the latest batch of Red Coats. Those interested must have a passion for Exeter, love walking and talking to people.

Training for the popular volunteer post is about to take place and Exeter City Council is keen to hear from anyone interested.

The award-winning Exeter Red Coat Guided Tours operate throughout the city, offering residents and visitors a chance top step back into Exeter’s history…for free!

Tours take place throughout the year at various locations on a number of different themes ranging from Medieval Exeter to Ghosts & Legends.

Training for the Red Coats will take place from November to March and those taking part will need to be able to commit to two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for the training period.

If successful, volunteers will be awarded their Red Blazer from the Lord Mayor in April.
