Exeter Events

Exeter isn’t a big city, like London, or even a Manchester or Birmingham, but it is a fantastic community-minded city that always has plenty of events on to please students living in the city. You’ll be all worn out after exploring Exeter and taking in the countless events throughout the year, and you’ll be glad to have your comfortable, luxury Exeter student accommodation to head back to and relax for a bit, and to put your feet up. You are living in the perfect location to enjoy the best of what the city has to offer.

Hijacked Festival – Hijacked Festival is a belter of an electronic festival, bringing the best of a Glastonbury-style festival vibes to the city (without the mud). It is one of the highlights of every year, ending Freshers celebrations in style, and in recent years has taken place at the stunning Powderham Castle. Cover your face in glitter, and head down to dance away in the last of the sunshine before autumn hits.
Enchanted Garden Ball – A sophisticated event where you can dance away quietly at a silent disco, try the many fairground attractions, whilst dressed up as fancy as you can imagine. All set in a luscious green field, The Enchanted Garden Ball (EGB) is one of the best events of the year at one of the finest universities in the world.
The Beach – One of the benefits of living in this glorious part of the world is that you do have some wonderful nature right on your doorstep. The beach is only 20 minutes away, and is the perfect antidote after a big night out in town. Why not head over with friends to see the sunrise after a long night out at a club? Or swim and paddle at Exmouth beach on a lazy Sunday, eating a picnic with friends and enjoying the fresh, clean air.
Live Music – Music is such an important part of student life in every city and Exeter is no different. There are some vibrant, raucous venues in town to catch some up-and-coming bands, as well as established artists. The Great Hall and Exeter Cathedral provide stunning backdrops for live music, performance, and comedy, The Cavern Club and The Lemmy smaller venues (the toilets of The Lemmy are where Thom Yorke wrote the lyrics to Radiohead’s single Creep). For large festivals like Let’s Rock Exeter there are spacious event spaces like Powderham Castle and Westpoint Exeter.
Heritage Open Day – In a city as beautiful and full of rich, traditional architecture, it would be folly to not want to explore the aesthetic of the city, and the Heritage Open Day is a fantastic way to see things that you might not necessarily get the chance to on any other day. It is free to the public and is the day of the year where public buildings and those not open to the public open their doors.

Take a walk around Exeter when you first arrive at our luxury Exeter student accommodation and you’ll discover plenty of attractions and events taking place throughout the year that are exciting and interesting. It is a wonderful city to live in as a student, and with your new home you’ll be in the perfect location to make the most of it.
