World Postcard Day

Wednesday 1 October 2025 | All day | Exeter Cathedral

Celebrate World Postcard Day with us!

Enjoy a pop-up exhibition of postcards from the Cathedral Archives. Featuring vintage photographs of the Cathedral and wonderful messages sent to loved ones, postcards are snapshots of life in black and white and glorious technicolour. See some of the best examples of our old postcards – and perhaps be inspired to write and send your own.

Tickets: Included in general admission to Exeter Cathedral

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
