GET LOST gallery

The GET LOST gallery sits in Exeter and does exactly what its name suggests - it makes you abandon any preconceived idea of what a gallery visit should be. This isn't your traditional white-walled space where you whisper and shuffle past paintings in single file. Instead, it's deliberately chaotic, immersive, and designed to make you think laterally about art and creativity.

You'll find installations and works that demand interaction rather than passive viewing. The whole point is to get genuinely disoriented, to question what you're looking at, and to emerge with your brain a bit scrambled in the best way. Some pieces are witty, others genuinely thought-provoking, and a few will make you groan at their cleverness.

It works brilliantly for creative types and anyone fed up with the stuffiness of conventional galleries. Teenagers tend to get it more than their parents, though there's something here that appeals to anyone with a decent sense of humour and curiosity. Kids younger than ten might find themselves a bit lost without the ironic intent registering.

If you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots like Devon Heaven Hideaways - just four miles away with hot tubs and proper comfort - GET LOST makes a decent rainy-day detour when you fancy heading into the city. Don't expect to spend hours there, but don't underestimate it either. Give yourself at least 45 minutes to properly wander and absorb what's going on. It's the sort of place that deserves a second look.
