Maritime Crafts Day

About

Hoist the sails and gather your crew — it's time to dive into a day of nautical nostalgia, hands-on fun, and salty sea vibes!

Meet real-life boatbuilders and craftspeople

Explore beautiful historic vessels like Britannia, Lynher, Dido of London, Alexa, Julie, and even an Irish Curragh with a flax fabric hull

Watch live ship repairs and traditional lobster pots being made

Try your hand at knot-tying like a true sailor

Enjoy live music, tasty refreshments from the Co-Create team's converted horse box, and even spot a vintage traction engine!

Plus, don't miss Guy the boatbuilder's open shed — see this time-honoured craft in action!

It's a fun-filled, hands-on celebration of Exeter's maritime heritage — perfect for curious kids, salty dogs, and everyone in between.

Drop anchor for a while — and prepare to be reeled in by the charm!
