The symplectic Brill–Noether locus {{{\mathcal {S}}}}_{2n, K}^k associated to a curve C parametrises stable rank 2n bundles over C with at least k sections and which carry a nondegenerate skewsymmetric bilinear form with values in the canonical bundle. This is a symmetric determinantal variety whose tangent spaces are defined by a symmetrised Petri map. We obtain upper bounds on the dimensions of various components of {{{\mathcal {S}}}}_{2n, K}^k. We show the nonemptiness of several {{{\mathcal {S}}}}_{2n, K}^k, and in most of these cases also the existence of a component which is generically smooth and of the expected dimension. As an application, for certain values of n and k we exhibit components of excess dimension of the standard Brill–Noether locus B^k_{2n, 2n(g-1)} over any curve of genus g \ge 122. We obtain similar results for moduli spaces of coherent systems.
