Aaah! I remember being 15 and thinking those pink bags were the coolest thing…read more In fact, I still do. The arcade in which The Real Mccoy sits feels a little bit magical and it's a great pastime to go and have a rummage around the pretty dresses and waistcoats. I used to think I'd get my wedding dress here and, while this hasn't quite turned into reality, I have bought many a good item (my first purchase here being a lime green boa which I thought was the business) and my partner has too. If you want to get some vintage haul and then go for a pretty decent cup of coffee then head here!

Next to Mansons guitar shop. Fab coffee,WiFi, nice people. Worth a go.read more

I can't believe no one has yet reviewed this fabulous find for antiques! I stumbled upon this…read morewonderful shop two years ago before I moved to Exeter from Canada. At the time, I found a beautiful pewter dish for my mother's birthday present that I brought all the way back on the plane with me. It has since taken its place in the centre of her dining table, as she loves it so much. Now that I have moved here, I decided that I should once again go back to this beautiful, inviting shop to have another look around. I was fortunate enough to find a gorgeous and reasonably priced Arts and Crafts side table for my living room. There was a lovely woman working there when I went in with my husband, and we found her to be very helpful, welcoming and kind. She really made us feel welcome in the store, and was very patient as we asked her questions and looked around. The pieces on offer are very good quality, and there are a number of unusual finds. We were excited to learn that they will be expanding the shop in the New Year! We will definitely be back to Exeter Antique Lighting. :)
