Events in Exeter From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find live music, comedy, and family-friendly events across Exeter this week. Shows take place at venues from intimate bars near St David's railway station to larger arenas hosting touring acts. Late-night performances include stand-up comedians at independent spaces on Sidford Street and themed shows spotlighting local talent. Daytime pop-ups occur around the High Street and near Exe Quayside, while craft markets appear weekly along the River Exe. Bookish events happen in community hubs such as St Nicholas Church Hall or at venues close to Sandy Park Stadium.

Families can attend stage productions at Exeter College’s main auditorium, with interactive sessions for children aged five and above. LEGO building challenges are held on Saturdays at the city centre complex next to St James Park, encouraging collaboration between adults and younger attendees. For relaxed evenings, gatherings focused on food, drink, music, and connection take place at venues like The Corn Exchange or local alehouses near Exeter Cathedral.

Events reflect civic life and cultural continuity. Segments of the ancient Roman wall on Palace Street remain visible today. These historical features continue to inform how public spaces, such as areas along Fosse Way or by underground aqueducts near St Thomas Church, are used in daily life.
