Events in Exeter From 13th April – 19th April 2026

Home · Events in Exeter This Week

This week in Exeter features music and live performances at venues across the city. You can find intimate acoustic sets near St James Park, while themed dance events celebrating decades like the 1980s synth-pop are held at spaces accessible via park and ride sites on the M5 perimeter. Some gatherings take place close to the historic Roman wall, its remains visible from parts of High Street, and others occur in areas adjacent to Exeter’s cathedral precinct.

Evening events typically happen over weekend nights into midweek, offering variety without long travel. Programming includes local DJ sets rotating from hubs near Fosse Way and informal networking at riverside venues with seating along the walkway beside the Exe. A few shows draw on influences tied to the city’s medieval fair past or its earlier industrial trade role.

All details about timing and venue are available through official event listings. Those relying on car travel should note that congestion remains a challenge at Exe Bridges, though late-night transport options continue near St Davids railway station. A short drive away, Bomba Exeter hosts themed parties like the 80s/90s/00s Flashback event, and Frank Turner performs live at Lemon Grove on April 13th.
