All services are open to everyone, including the general public, with the sole exception of the Sanctuary Service at 7pm on Sundays in the Mary Harris Memorial Chapel.
The Sanctuary Service is open to all University of Exeter students and staff, and their partners and families.
At all other services, everyone is very welcome to participate, or to simply come and listen, and you don't need to be a member of University staff or a student to do so.
We welcome people of all faiths and worldviews, regardless of background, denomination or tradition.
