Families can enjoy a summer of free activities down by Exeter’s waterside.
Running every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday during the school holidays, the Transit Shed and Piazza will be hosting creative and hands-on activities for all ages.
Once again, Summer at the Quay has been organised by Exeter Canal and Quay Trust, bringing free holiday fun to the quayside.
No booking is needed, just drop in and enjoy activities ranging from wool weaving and boat building to circus skills, puppetry and music making.
Highlights include Prom Prom’s Free Quay Fridays, the ever-popular storytelling and games sessions, plus workshops with artists, scientists and performers.
