Small and free admission, interesting to view, right in the centre of the city off the High Street.The hall is wood panelledd as the names of Mayors and the years they served underneath.

Interesting things to see inside. The docents are fairly informative, too. Some pretty cool history about the place and the area.

If you have a few minutes to spare in Exeter pop in and have a look round this lovely old building, i think it is open a couple of days a week and entry is free.

The guildhall has lots, from clothes shops, to card shops, to food shops and a shop that has it all (wilkos) I go here every week, usually a Saturday because there is always something to get.

My first experience of this building was taking Open University exams in the ballroom. All in all an interesting and multi-functional place with interesting shops, food and facilities. Good place for a function or wedding.

Make sure you take time to go inside and look. This medieval building remains in everyday use, so may be closed at the last minute. It has a carved oak door from the 15th century and a roof from around the same time. It is located right on High Street.

The Guildhall has a dated feeling compared to the ultra modern Princesshay. It has the advantage of the Mary Arches multi story car park and there is a cafe on the first floor.

We couldn't visit the Guildhall, as they were preparing for a wedding that day, but a member of staff who was just entering the building was delightfully friendly and helpful, explaining us what it is still used for (county meetings, functions, venues and weddings).
