Sandy Park – Exeter’s Premier Conference, Events & Hospitality Destination

Award‑Winning Venue | Home of Exeter Chiefs | Exceptional Events, Dining & Accommodation

Sandy Park is the South West’s leading conference, banqueting and events venue, located just off the M5 in Exeter, Devon. Home to Premiership Rugby’s Exeter Chiefs, Sandy Park combines world‑class event facilities with outstanding hospitality, cutting‑edge technology and exceptional onsite hotel accommodation.

Conveniently positioned next to Junction 30 of the M5 and only minutes from Exeter Airport, the venue is one of the most accessible in the region, making it a top choice for national conferences, exhibitions, gala dinners, private celebrations and sporting events.
