School’s out
Our free PrincessPlay playground is packed with happy families, our restaurant terraces are buzzing and we’re making the most of summer at Princesshay. With September just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to tick off the back-to-school shopping list while enjoying a family day out.

Make the most of summer
This summer, Princesshay Square has been transformed into an all-age playground filled with free activities, tasty food, live music and brilliant local makers. Best of all, PrincessPlay is completely free. Running until 31st August, it’s the perfect place to stop, play and spend quality time together in the heart of Exeter.
Round off your visit with a trip to Build-A-Bear Workshop – a family favourite that’s guaranteed to put smiles on little faces.
Enjoy a family meal out
After working up an appetite, recharge with a tasty family meal. If you’re craving fresh flavours, wagamama’s summer menu is packed with colourful rice bowls and tasty lunch options. Better still, you can enjoy 20% off the wagamama kids’ menu this summer. Over at YO! try the Tamagotchi Bandai menu featuring katsu sandos and loaded fries with a twist.


Prepare for the new school term
Getting ready for the new school year is easy at Princesshay, with everything you need under one roof. Find comfortable, hard-wearing school uniforms for every age at Next. Get ready for cooler days with cosy coats and stylish backpacks from Superdry, or discover River Island’s collection of practical bags and coats (pictured) that are perfect for the new term.
Stock up on stationery and accessories
For kids who love to personalise their pencil case, stationery is about so much more than pens and pencils. Flying Tiger is bursting with colourful unicorn and candy-themed collections, while Smiggle is packed with bags, water bottles, lunch boxes (Minecraft collection, pictured) and little rewards to celebrate a great start to the new school year.


Step into the classroom with confidence
The right shoes can make all the difference to a busy school day. Whether they’re running around at breaktime or walking to and from school, Princesshay has plenty of options.
Discover school-approved styles from leading brands at Schuh (pictured), with choices for everyone from little learners to teens. Or head to Sports Direct for trainers they’ll actually be excited to wear beyond the classroom too.
