Join us for a night filled with Christmas Cheer.
Don’t miss Christmas on the Quay and what promises to be a festive extravaganza organised by Mango Cafe and On The Waterfront restaurant, with entertainment for all the family, as well as seasonal food and drink and late night shopping opportunities around the quayside area.
Little ones will be able to enjoy exciting inflatable entertainment under the Transit Shed, including a giant snow globe. They will also be able to visit Santa’s Grotto in the Exeter Custom House, where they can meet the jolly old man himself and share their Christmas wishes.
Pick-up unique Christmas gifts not found on the high street at many of the independent shops along the waterfront, while there will also be a craft market inside the Exeter Custom House. And don’t forget to treat yourself to a mulled wine of hot chocolate as you wander around the historic quayside.
Yonder Folk and Harbour will be providing the live music at On the Waterfront and Mango, while there will also be an outside barbecue, festive dining and takeaway options to fuel your visit.
Bring your family and friends to Exeter Quay for a night of magical fun, music, and Christmas cheer.
