We’ve done all the leg work in helping you get to Touch 10 easily, and enjoying your stay in Exeter. You just need to read, book, and arrive. Simples.

Touch 10 is held at the The River Dream Centre, in the centre of Exeter, and surrounded by local amenities. Our partner hotel, The Southgate, is a 5 minute walk away, all city centre car parks are within a 10 minutes walk, and a range of restaurants are within 5 minutes walk.

Getting to Exeter

By train: Exeter St Davids (EXD) is the main train station, and connected to the north line towards London, and the south line to Plymouth and into Cornwall. The most common route, from London Paddington (PAD), takes 2.5 hours.

This station is a clearly signposted 15 minutes walk to The River Dream Centre. Alternatively, connections can be made from EXD to Exeter Central Station (EXC), which is opposite The River Dream Centre.

By car: We’d ask first of all that you arrange a car share if you are coming by car. The M5 is the main connection from the north into Exeter, and the A30 from the south. You can use Google Maps to get directions from your location.

There are 3 city centre car parks within 5 minutes walk or less. Download this printable guide to help you, or use this overlay in Google Maps.

By plane: Depending on where you are flying from, the best airports are either Exeter International Airport (EXT) or Bristol Airport (BRS) for flights from Europe, or London Heathrow (LHR) for flights from further abroad. For travel to The River Dream Centre, please speak with us directly.
