Parties & Events with a Difference

Events & Parties

900 years of hospitality. The world’s oldest freehouse. And it’s yours for the occasion.

The Old Exeter Inn offers intimate, candlelit spaces for celebrations of all kinds – weddings, birthdays, christenings, retirement dos, wakes, corporate events, or just a proper get-together with old friends. From cosy nooks for eight to the whole pub for 120.

Pour your own pints in the Otter Tap Room. Host a garden party in our walled Apothecary Garden with cider bar and pizzeria. Gather for a Pie Club feast, a Cheese & Wine evening, or a Beer Tasting with mates. Have a look at our Party Ideas from Buffets to you being a Landlord for the day!

No room hire fees. Just a minimum spend on food and drink – and everything you order counts towards it. Simple.

Download our Party Packages brochure for the full details. Or speak to David – we’ll work with you personally to create your perfect event.

Filming & Photography

Moody, atmospheric and steeped in history. Dark panelled rooms, candlelight, 900 years of character — the Old Exeter Inn makes an ideal setting for both period and modern productions. Creative England is our agent, or contact our PR Agent, Elaine Harrison, here.
