Events in Exeter From 11th May – 17th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Exeter this week, from theatre shows to live music. The city’s cultural scene is active, with performances at major venues and opportunities to hear touring and local acts. Look out for family-friendly options, including a workshop at The Forum Kitchen, and events like the Exeter Quayside Farmers' Market, which features local producers and artisans. The historic Exe River offers scenic walks, and the city’s Roman roots, established as Isca Dumnoniorum around AD 55, shape the character of the area, including the visible remnants of the old wall. Exeter St Davids railway station is a key transport hub, with easy access via the M5 motorway and A38 road. Be mindful of congestion at Exe Bridges, especially during peak times. For sports fans, the Exeter Chiefs play at Sandy Park Stadium, which hosts regular rugby matches. Check the listings below for event times and venue locations.
