Visit – Devon and Exeter Institution and St Nicholas Priory

These are two historic sites in the centre of Exeter. St Nicholas Priory is the oldest roofed building in Exeter, and has a rich history. The Devon and Exeter Institution has a unique library with a period atmosphere, but with modern ideas for presenting the treasures in its collection.

Please note that numbers will be limited to 15. Please book well in advance, and indicate whether you will be visiting both sites or only one. Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis, but reserve listings will be maintained for both locations. Please try to give good notice if you have to cancel, so that someone else can be offered your place.

                                                 Please remember to bring your facemask.

Lunch arrangements: Because of Covid uncertainties, no arrangements have so far been made for lunch together. If circumstances change, we can make enquiries of eating places in the centre of town which can accommodate parties of up to 15. Please advise if you would be interested in meeting for lunch, or whether you will make your own arrangements. If you want to remain active over the lunch period, you might like to visit Exeter Cathedral and/or the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) in the middle of the day.

Transport:  Both locations are a short walk from the Cathedral. Parking in the centre of Exeter is always an issue. Car parking for 6-7 hours will cost £9.90 in Premium car parks (Guildhall, John Lewis, and Mary Arches), and £8.80 in Zone 1 car parks (e.g. Princesshay).  A better option would be to use the Park and Ride.
