Shopping


Exeter’s compact size makes it the perfect shopping destination. It offers a blend of high-street brands, boutiques and specialised independent shops. The city is divided into distinct shopping quarters, each with its own character and unique shops.


At the heart of the city is Princesshay, a modern, open-air space with a lively atmosphere, featuring over 60 stores including popular brands like Zara, Apple, and Hollister. Nearby, the Guildhall Shopping Centre offers a mix of big brands and family favourites, all under one roof. Here, you’ll find everything from fashion and beauty to electronics and homewares.


For a more eclectic shopping experience, head to the Castle and West Quarters, known for their independent boutiques, vintage shops, and artisanal stores. For pre-loved and vintage finds, head to Fore Street, which is also home to the Fore Street Flea four times a year! Explore cobbled Gandy Street, where you’ll discover unique clothing, jewellery, and gifts that you won’t find anywhere else.


Magdalen Road is the village street in the heart of the city, named one of the ‘10 coolest shopping areas in the whole world’ by The Guardian. You’ll find some real local gems here, with independent delicatessens, bakeries, and quirky gift retailers, making it a favourite among locals.
