Events in Exeter From 18th May – 24th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Exeter this week, with options for families, music lovers, and culture seekers. If you're looking for things to do, there's a solid mix on offer. This week includes family activities like the Princeshay Go Wild trail at Princesshay Shopping Centre, and arts events such as the Colour exhibition at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery. For music, check out the Sherlock Holmes performance at Exeter Northcott Theatre, or live DJs at Bomba Exeter and Move Exeter. A number of themed music nights are also running, including R&B vs Garage and FLUFF , Feel Good Vocal House Music. If you're in the mood for sport, St James Park hosts Exeter City FC matches, and Sandy Park Stadium is home to the Exeter Chiefs. You can access the city via the M5 motorway or Exeter St Davids railway station, and park and ride sites near M5 junctions can help avoid city-centre congestion. The remaining sections of the Roman wall, originally part of Isca Dumnoniorum, are still visible in parts of the city, and the influence of the medieval aqueduct system can be seen in the layout of city streets. Be aware that congestion occurs at Exe Bridges, and rough sleeping remains an issue in some areas. Check the listings below for times and venues.
