Whether it's going big and partying the night away surrounded by friends and family or heralding the new year with more relaxed and intimate celebrations, Exeter offers something for everyone to raise a glass to.

From festive cruises and city nightlife to music in Exeter's oldest building and a day at the races, be inspired with our latest blog.

If you unfortunately do miss out then all is not lost as there's a special offer to kick start the new year.

Sleeping Beauty takes to the stage at the Corn Exchange on the 31st December and 1st January while Dick Whittington at the Northcott Theatre performs on New Year's Eve before returning on the 2nd January.
