Events in Exeter From 4th May – 10th May 2026

You can find a strong mix of events in Exeter this week, with plenty to keep you entertained. From lively evenings exploring what’s on, to chances to check out new sounds, there’s a distinct energy around the city. Look out for music performances covering everything from established acts to contemporary beats, with options for both intimate sets and larger gatherings. Consider St James Park if a match is on, or Sandy Park for a different atmosphere. There are also opportunities to catch tribute acts bringing beloved performers to the stage.

Beyond music, daytime options are available too. These offer a break from the usual, whether you’re after a social afternoon or something different to fill the hours. Walk along the Exe River, connecting to the city’s Roman past and medieval aqueducts, before an afternoon event. Reflect on Exeter’s history as a key site during the English Civil War while enjoying a performance. The M5 and A38 provide access to the city, though congestion at Exe Bridges is often a factor.

Whether you’re planning a night out or a leisurely day, there’s a good selection to choose from. Take a look at what’s happening and make the most of your week. Remember that Exeter St Davids railway station offers excellent connectivity. With ongoing efforts to reopen the Okehampton railway line, access to further areas will improve. Check the listings below for times and venues, and consider using park and ride sites near M5 junctions to avoid city centre parking challenges.
