Location and Transportation

Venue Address

South Huron Recreation Centre

94 Victoria Street East

Exeter, Ontario N0M 1S1

Located in Exeter — approximately 50 km north of London, Ontario — the centre sits within easy reach for guests traveling from regional communities.

• Parking: On-site parking available
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; primarily accessible by car
• Rideshare & Dropoff: General drop-off is available at the main entrance

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before your event start time, especially during hockey tournaments or large community events. This gives you time to park, navigate the facility, and find your seats without rushing.

Because the venue is indoors, weather is generally not a factor once you’re inside. If you’re driving in from London or nearby towns, allow a little extra time for regional traffic and parking during peak event periods.

With limited public transit options, driving or rideshare is the most convenient way to reach the venue. If you’re coordinating with a group for popular South Huron Recreation Centre events, choose a clear meeting spot near the main entrance for easy arrival and entry.

Venue Navigation

The South Huron Recreation Centre includes a large ice pad with arena-style seating, a community hall for flexible event setups, and meeting rooms for smaller functions. Recent accessibility improvements help guests move smoothly through entrances and common areas.

A concession stand operates for many events, offering quick snacks and beverages. If your event uses the community hall or meeting spaces, signage on site typically directs you to the appropriate entrance or room.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Limited information available — please review the venue’s official guidelines before arrival
• Prohibited Items: Limited information available — check the venue’s policy in advance of your event
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Plan for limited public transit and arrive 30–45 minutes early, especially for tournaments or large events.
• Since the venue is indoors, weather won’t impact your experience once you’re inside — but allow extra time on snowy or rainy days for travel and parking.

Pre-Event Planning

Build in extra time to explore downtown Exeter before or after your event. Local highlights like the Exeter Murals showcase the town’s heritage, while nearby eateries make it easy to grab a bite before heading into the arena or community hall.

If you’re attending with a group, designate a meeting spot by the main entrance and share tickets ahead of time for smoother entry. For full-day tournaments, consider nearby outdoor options such as the South Huron Trail or Morrison Dam Conservation Area to stretch your legs between games.

Because event layouts can vary — from arena seating to community hall configurations — check your event listing to confirm the entrance, approximate duration, and any posted guidelines. This helps you coordinate arrivals, rides, and post-event meetups.

South Huron Recreation Centre is ADA-accessible, with on-site accessible parking, accessible seating options, and improved accessibility features such as elevators/ramps following its 2022 renovation. These updates make it easier for guests with mobility needs to navigate the facility, from entrances to seating areas.
