Testimonials
This has been the best ever event we have run
Dr Katie Beswick, TaPRA Executive Committee
So many thanks for your amazing work on the TaPRA conference. You have been absolutely brilliant in making it possible for us to stage this conference at such late notice, and in realising our vision of a generous, seamless and convivial gathering.
It went so well and colleagues are saying that this has been the best ever event we have run in 14 years of doing conferences as an organisation at campuses all over the country.
Please know that I and everyone on the TaPRA Exec fully appreciates the hard work, care and patience that you all demonstrated in realising this event with us.

The food was excellent, I am a regular conference participant and have organised numerous conferences myself and your food was amongst the best that I have seen. The selection of healthy options was very welcome and as a coeliac I must admit I don't think that I have ever been as well catered for.
What an exceptional space, venue and food. WOW Exeter. The spaces were wonderful, the food was epic, the setting is lovely, the organisation on point. Well done on that front (a veggie menu! well done, live and breathe sustainability without banging on about it!)
The breaks and after-events provided ample opportunities for networking and camaraderie. And let's not forget about the food! Each meal was a treat for the senses, fueling both body and mind for the engaging discussions ahead. Exeter was such a beautiful place for this gathering. As the conference wrapped up, I couldn't help but feel inspired by the whole experience.
The event exceeded our expectations!
St Luke's College 50th Reunion
"Event Exeter hosted the 50th College Reunion for the old Saint Luke's Teacher Training College. The event exceeded our expectations, mainly due to your staff, the small details that were covered, the friendliness of the staff, the skill of the IT team, and the excellent service of the lead team including Sophie, working with Alumni Coordinator Dave Watson. Thanks for a memorable Gala Dinner. Reed Hall was a wonderful way to celebrate 50 years!"
Reed Hall is the perfect setting for any event
PKF-Francis Clark
"Reed Hall is the perfect setting for any event. The venue and staff contribute towards a formal yet relaxing experience. This, plus the beautiful grounds and delicious food make any event enjoyable and unforgettable."
I must write to say how much we enjoyed our stay last week
Weston Walking Group – Holland Hall
All the staff, from reception, room servicing and catering, were helpful and friendly. A special mention must be made for the serving staff in the dining room that went beyond the normal call of service, they were excellent.
I also must mention the staff based around campus who politely answered the many queries, particularly "What's the quickest way back to Holland Hall?"
Can you pass on our many thanks to all
Exeter University is the perfect place for a Year 12 residential
Organiser, Ralph Allen School 2024
"Exeter university is the perfect place for a Year 12 residential. It has the space and facilities to allow for team building whilst giving the students a taster of university life. The facilities are excellent and every member of staff we encountered were helpful and friendly."
Our day was, yet again, wonderful.
Taste of the West Awards
The meal was utterly FANTASTIC and the service was slick, efficient and incredibly professional. We have had dozens of comments about how incredible it all was; one diner said her vegetarian meal was the best she had eaten.
Please pass on my grateful thanks to all the chefs, the waiting team and everyone else involved - you should be immensely proud of the team you are!
