Location Filming at the Old Exeter Inn

A rare find for Location Scouts — authentic public house with period features, multiple distinct spaces, and the atmosphere that only 900 years can provide.

Filming For Professionals

Moody, atmospheric and steeped in history. Old Exeter Inn makes an ideal setting for both period and modern productions. Dark panelled rooms. Candlelight. Log fires. A medieval fireplace with granite stillage. 900 years of character in every corner.

From intimate nooks like the Confessional and Snug, to the larger Parlour and Otter Tap Room, we offer a variety of spaces – each with its own distinct atmosphere. Outside, our walled Apothecary Garden provides a charming period backdrop. The whole pub can be hired exclusively for filming.

We’ve welcomed film crews from the UK, Europe and the USA over the years. An experienced TV producer sees the project through as part of the contract – maximising production time and ensuring the smooth running of your shoot. Contact our PR Agent, Elaine Harrison, here.
