give it a go

Whether it's something you've always wanted to try or something you've never heard of before, Give it a Go will provide you with the opportunity to try out a unique range of opportunities throughout the year. You may even like one so much you want to start your own society for it!

The programme runs across the whole year, so there are plenty of chances for you to get stuck in. Most of our events are free for you to get involved with and don't require any long-term commitment.

Have an idea for an event you'd like to see? Drop us an email at activities@exeterguild.com and we'll see what we can do!
