Events in Exeter From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find a lively mix of events in Exeter this week, offering something for every mood and interest across cultural spaces and green areas from 2026-03-29 to 2026-04-05. The Roman wall remains visible near St David's Park, while exhibitions at RAMM explore science through children’s books, an interactive experience for families with young children rooted in the city’s medieval economic life. Haldon Forest Park hosts a storytelling trail this week, connecting historical narratives from Isca Dumnoniorum to Alfred the Great’s fortifications. Live music happens at intimate venues near Exeter St Davids station; comedy sets blend quirky observations with local history, while themed dance nights feature 90s and early-2000s anthems in spaces that accommodate diverse communities, including kink-friendly events hosted by independent collectives. Evenings remain moderately intense: bars along the A38 near junction 16 stay open late, drawing both locals using park-and-ride sites and visitors arriving via rail from Plymouth or Bristol on the South Devon Railway line. Families can access free workshops at Exeter College campus during weekend hours; these include hands-on sessions with reenactments of Saxon life in Escanceaster, reflecting long-standing civic efforts around education accessibility. Outdoor events take place across parks including Sandy Park and St James Park, venues also used for rugby training by the Exeter Chiefs, and flood risk remains monitored due to outdated river defences near Dawlish’s sea wall damage site from 2014.
