The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery opened in 1919 and holds Grade II* listed status, making it one of Exeter's most significant public buildings. Groups arranging coach hire or minibus hire for the Royal Albert Memorial Museum benefit from a dedicated drop-off point on Queen Street, right outside Exeter Central station, so passengers step straight onto the museum's doorstep rather than trekking from a car park.
Operators can set down at Queen Street, with the nearest bus stop of the same name just 73 metres from the entrance. School groups are welcomed, and general visiting groups need a minimum of 8 people to book as a group. The museum is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays and bank holidays, so plan pickup and return times around that window.
Once passengers are dropped off, the driver can move on to Haven Banks Car Park Three, 0.77 miles away, about a 15 minute walk back to the museum. It's operated by Exeter City Council, has 4 coach spaces, and charges a fee, so operators should factor that into the day's costs. It's the closest coach parking option in this part of Exeter.
Wheelchair users and people with mobility scooters, pushchairs and buggies can access the Garden entrance using the ramp from the blue-badge parking area, or use the accessibility lift between Queen Street and pavement level. This makes drop-off at Queen Street practical for groups with mixed mobility needs, without a long walk from parking to the entrance.
All journeys shown allow a lawful same day return, and breaks follow GB drivers hours rules.

The details that affect your booking.
Coaches set down on Queen Street, right outside Exeter Central station, which is the designated drop-off point for the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. This puts passengers within a very short walk of the entrance rather than needing transfers from a car park.
The nearest coach parking is Haven Banks Car Park Three, 0.77 miles away, about a 15 minute walk. It's run by Exeter City Council, has 4 coach spaces, and charges a fee, so drivers should budget time and cost accordingly.
General groups need a minimum of 8 people to book as a group at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. School groups are also accommodated, making it suitable for both education visits and organised day trips.
The museum opens 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Sunday and is closed on Mondays and bank holidays. Groups arranging coach hire should schedule arrival and departure within this window to avoid a wasted trip.

“We booked Bus Route for our group of 35 passengers travelling from London to Ipswich return trio and the experience was excellent from start to finish.On our way to the venue, the road was unexpectedly closed when we were only about 15 minutes away. Our driver remained calm, patient, and professional throughout, finding an alternative route without any stress or delay on our part. We really appreciated how composed and experienced he was in handling the situation.The coach was clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which made a huge difference as we were travelling during an extremely hot day. Everyone in our group was able to relax and enjoy the journey.Overall, we had a fantastic experience on both the outbound and return trips. The service was reliable, comfortable, and well-organised. I would highly recommend Bus Route to anyone looking for coach transport for a large group. Thank you for helping make our trip so enjoyable!”

“The booking process with Busroute was easy, and follow up communication excellent. Despite a 6a.m. start the bus was there at 5.40, ready to load and ensure a prompt getaway. Our driver was very friendly, helpful and courteous and helped with unloading at the airport. The return to Swansea from the airport was equally easy and comfortable with an ontime pick-up and arrival back in Swansea. I highly recommend BusRoute and0 their partners.”
