About Venue

Located within the beautiful Streatham Campus in Exeter, Reed Hall is one of Devon's most prestigious conference and event venues, combining magnificent Victorian architecture with contemporary meeting facilities and landscaped gardens. Originally built as a private mansion in the 19th century, the Grade II listed building now provides an elegant setting for conferences, meetings, private dining, receptions, weddings and exclusive corporate events.
