Home of the Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen
That's quite a mouthful, but what is the IWFS? Not many realise that Exeter was once the third wealthiest city in Britain, all driven by the woollen cloth trade. The IWFS was the Guild for cloth workers, helping regulate the trade and forming a foundation for charitable giving.
Six centuries later and the Guild continues it's philanthropic mission, creating projects which help young people and supporting business and commerce across the region.
The hall is a beautiful landmark with a remarkable history.
Tuckers Hall holds centuries of history in its architecture and fittings, a fascinating time-capsule which tells of the remarkable place Exeter had in shaping Britain.
With information boards, interactive displays, artefacts and media, there are many ways to learn about the hall, the wool trade and the philathropic work of the Guild.
It's also a wonderful venue you can hire for meetings, events and weddings, to add a gravitas or elegance to your occassion.
