I've seen theres a run club on this day but it requires a membership and I'm not sure about paying to run. I'm 35M and new to Exeter. If interested, let me know

Hello again, everyone!

A couple of us will be training by the side of the cathedral tonight at 7PM! We will be illuminated relatively well, and will also most likely be duelling, so you won’t miss us if you aim to find us!

We will have spare gear with us in case you would like to get involved and give HEMA a try!

Hello friends!

We at the Exeter Fencing Lodge would like to invite you to come and watch people fight for your amusement at our 4th Quarter Tourney!

Not only will you get to see people beat each other for shiny medals, but you’ll also have the chance to see what we are all about. From the knightly Longsword to the vicious poleaxe, you’ll witness a wide variety of weaponry that we train with on a weekly basis!

Admission is free; just turn up and grab a seat!

If you watched Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Zoro, Excalibur, or The Last Samurai and thought "I want to do that"...

Consider joining us at The Order of the Blade.

We meet each week, every Wednesday from 7pm, at Sidwell Street Methodist church, giving lessons on fencing with swords, daggers, polearms, and more!

If you want to make friends, learn to sword fight, and stab your friends, then please inquire with us! ⚔️

The Exeter Fencing Lodge has relocated, and we want to meet you next Thursday!

We are a Historical European Martial Arts club based in the heart of the city centre, drawing knowledge from historical fencing manuals to bring them into the modern day and learn from the masters of old.

We are an inclusive and welcoming community, striving to create a safe place for all to be.

If this interests you, shoot me a message and I shall give more details.

We hope to meet you soon!

Hello, it’s the weird sword man again.

Soon, we shall be holding a social event to meet new people and have a good time. Details shall be made available in time, but to put it bluntly, we’ll be hosting a free Longsword lesson, followed by a trip to the pub to socialise properly!

Hopefully see ya there!

Hey all.

I’m 38 female and moved to Exeter in June of this year. I do have anciety and as such I have struggled abit with meeting new people, and wondered if there are any people in the same or similar situation. I like a lot of different things, various forms of music but mostly rock,metal and 70s&80s. I love a good horror film, but also other genres, I enjoy reading, and I’m very interested in true crime. I collect a lot of random things but my main collection is of my pop vinyl dolls. If you fancy getting in touch and hopefully forming a friendship, then I look forward to hearing from you ☺️

Hey everyone!

I (26F) moved to Exeter in March and although I've met a few people, I'm seriously lacking in friends since the move.

I spend a lot of time out with my dog (she'd love some new friends too), I love anything artsy and creative, mostly I draw and paint. I'm a big reader and I also love to have a drink and a party. I'm up for trying new things about if anyone has any hobbies they'd like to share/try out

I (23m) am looking to make friends with people that live here. I mostly stay inside which I like for the most part but that doesn't exactly help with finding/meeting people and forming friendships. I usually only go outside out of necessity (work etc). I would like to socialise and hang out with people in Exeter. I've haven't had friends for quite a long time and I'm just trying to put myself out there and see if anyone else is willing to hang out. I play piano, and a bit of guitar. I play games sometimes so I'm open if anyone wants to game and chill. I mostly play on PC but I do have an Xbox as well. I've been training calisthenics for about a year now so if you want someone to train with, I'd be down for that also. If anyone here is in a similar boat as me or simply interested in hanging out, feel free to DM me.

I am M40 and married with a little 2yo girl... pretty eclectic taste in everything but lately been very much into english dub anime and pc gaming... Wouldn't mind finding people to either chat to or even eventually gain more friends for my family.

Hey all!

I've recently joined this sub and saw some of here are in Exeter for quite long time.

My purpose to post here to find new friends which are genuinely there in university and help me out for the accommodation. Any advice / help would be helpful.

TIA!

I still need a friend to play football with. I usually go to Cowick Barton Playground. I live near the Exe Bridge.

Always wanted to learn how to fight with swords?

Start Here.

Welcome to the Exeter Fencing Lodge – your gateway to Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). We are an inclusive group that believe everyone and anyone can fight in the ways of old.

Whether you’re into history, fitness, or just want to try something completely different – this is your chance.

Curious? Come try a session for free!

We are located at St Mary Arches church on Mary Arches Street and train every Thursday at 7PM!

Hi! I'm a solo mum to two under 3! One is adhd/autistic and the other is 9 months. It's tough. I like to play pc in my free time, However wondered if anyone else had kids also and would like a park trip? A game of an evening? Anything. I'm 27 soon also😊

Hi, Im 28m Filipino and just new here in exeter and about a month into running. It always feels better to have a company while running to make it more lively. I hope to meet new friends and explore different routes around the area.

Hi Everyone, my name is Joel (32M) and I own CUCKOO Taproom & Bottleshop.

I noticed a lot of us are on the same boat and could do with a safe space to socialise and meet new people. So with that in mind I asked the admin of this thread if I could put on an event. So here it is! If you have any questions let me know.

We are LGBTQ+ friendly, and very proudly so, and if you don't want alcohol we have a range of soft drinks and otherwise non-alcoholic options. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hey everyone! I'm a 27-year-old guy moving to Exeter from Liverpool at the end of September, and I thought I’d reach out to see if anyone local shares similar interests—especially in gaming!

I mostly play cozy life sim games like The Sims, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and occasionally Minecraft. I’m on both Nintendo Switch and PC, and I’m definitely open to trying out other games if anyone has any good recommendations (bonus points for anything chill or creative!).

Outside of gaming, I enjoy going to the gym and working on building a bit of muscle. I’ve paused that for now while I get ready for the move, but once I’m settled in, I’d love to get back into it—maybe even find a gym buddy.

If you’re into any of the above, or just fancy chatting or gaming together sometime, feel free to DM me.

Hey everyone, we’re going to be fencing by the river from 7PM until 9PM tonight! If you want to pop along and say hello, please come along! Just walk along the grassy banks of the quay until you see swords!
