There is nothing like a day of Halloween fun at Crealy, with activities running throughout the whole of half-term – not to mention every child receives their very own pumpkin to take home with them! Pay a visit to Paignton Zoo to admire their Great Brick Safari exhibition, where there are 80 animal Lego creations dotted around the grounds for you to find! 

There are plenty of opportunities to explore the great outdoors this October half-term and discover a new part of our city that you haven’t visited yet. Exeter has been voted the ninth greenest city in the UK, meaning there are endless opportunities to go for a gentle stroll, feel the wind through your hair on a bike ride and visit picture-perfect parks and gardens that are ideal for picnics! Don’t forget – our location in the heart of Devon means that we’re only a short distance from glorious, sandy beaches and the beautiful Dartmoor National Park!

Exeter is the place to be for thrilling outdoor adventures. Hire a paddleboard, kayak or canoe and get on the water or gear up and set yourself a challenge at Quay Climbing Centre – there’s no doubt that these popular activities are easy to plan and will let you reconnect with friends and family.

It’s now more important than ever to support local businesses. Whether you’re gift hunting or treating yourself to something new – Exeter is filled with independent shopping quarters for you to shop ‘til you drop! Don’t forget to visit our fantastic cafés and restaurants in-between your activities for mouth-watering local produce, check out our Exeter Food and Drink Trail for inspiration!
