Riverside Walks, Live Music & Laid-Back Culture

Weekend Plans Sorted: Quayside & the City Centre
The Quay is Exeter’s go-to weekend hangout — think paddleboarding, vintage shops, cute bakeries, and sunset views over the river. Or head into the city centre for Princesshay and Gandy Street’s mix of boutiques, restaurants, and student-friendly pubs.
Study Spots Beyond Your Room
Need a change of scene? Head to the University of Exeter’s libraries, grab a table at Sacred Grounds or Camper Coffee, or find a quiet nook at RAMM’s café. Perfect for powering through assignments solo or meeting friends for group work.
Great Food That Doesn’t Break the Bank
Grab a slice at The Waterfront, try The Taco Boys for street-food tacos, or stop by Boston Tea Party for brunch and coffee. Exeter’s packed with tasty, affordable spots that are student favourites — all an easy walk or bus ride from Canvas.
