In ancient streets where Romans tread, Exeter whispers tales of the dead. Haunted inns and shadows cast, Echoes lingering from the past.

Families wander cobbled lanes, Chasing ghosts and old refrains. Red Coat guides with lanterns bright, Share legends in the dimming light.

Discover events for young and old, In a city where mysteries unfold. Embrace the thrill, the eerie scene, In Exeter this Halloween.

Exeter has been named the UK’s Spookiest City. 👻🎃

We are really looking forward to meeting our new Trainee Red Coat Guides. Will one of them be you?😁

There’s still time to become one of Exeter’s famous Red Coat Guide with training for the latest group starting in November.

Those interested must have a passion for Exeter, enjoy walking, and talking to people.

Training for this popular volunteer position will take place between November and March, and Exeter City Council is keen to hear from anyone interested.

The award-winning Exeter Red Coat Guided Tours operate throughout the city, offering residents and visitors a chance to step back into Exeter’s history – for free!

Tours take place throughout the year at various locations on a number of different themes, ranging from Medieval Exeter to Ghosts & Legends.

Training starts next month (November), and participants will need to be able to commit to two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for the training period.

If successful, volunteers will be awarded their Red Blazer by the Lord Mayor in April.

For more information and to apply, contact [email protected].
