Wand Vintage

Walking into Wand Vintage near Exeter feels like stepping into someone's rather brilliant attic - the kind where everything's been curated with actual taste instead of just crammed in randomly. This is a gallery packed with vintage finds, art, and objects that tell stories. You're looking at furniture, homeware, prints, and collectibles spanning decades - some pieces screaming 1970s kitsch, others quietly beautiful mid-century Modern.

The appeal here is straightforward: if you like rummaging through properly interesting vintage stock without the usual car-boot chaos, this delivers. Artists and designers often stop in to nose around for inspiration. Families with teenagers who've caught the vintage bug will get hours out of it. Couples looking for something quirky to fill a rainy afternoon will find it worthwhile. Kids under eight might get bored within thirty minutes, though.

It's the sort of place you can spend an hour browsing or just pop in for fifteen minutes depending on your mood and what catches your eye that day. Free admission makes it a low-risk venture. If you're staying at one of the glamping spots like Devon Heaven Hideaways just outside the city, Wand Vintage works nicely as an easy Exeter afternoon alongside a decent lunch and perhaps the cathedral. Close enough not to feel like a mission, interesting enough to justify the trip into town rather than staying put on the site.
