Exeter Central Mosque

Exeter Mosque and Cultural Centre is the main mosque serving Exeter and the wider South West, located on York Road close to the city centre and railway station. The community traces its origins to 1976, when 15 York Road was purchased as a permanent place for prayer after Muslim students and local businessmen had been gathering in homes; neighbouring properties were later added as the congregation grew. In 2011 it completed the South West's first purpose-built mosque, and a larger rebuilt facility was opened around 2020 after roughly £1.7 million of construction. It is a registered charity (no. 274095) serving more than 2,000 Muslims in the city.
