Exeter AU University Ball

The Exeter Castle hosted the recent Exeter University Athletic Union Ball in May 2011. This large event was held in a marquee in the Exeter Castle courtyard, with a finale of splendid fireworks on the ancient Castle walls.

We held our annual University Sports Awards Dinner at Exeter Castle in May 2011. 500 sportsmen and women attended a formal dinner and awards ceremony in the Castle Grounds where a huge marquee was erected for the event. All had a most enjoyable evening. The venue was fantastic and very picturesque, thank you!     Exeter University Athletic Union

Exeter Festival of South West Food and Drink 2011 This year’s Exeter Festival of South West Food & Drink welcomed thousands of visitors, with record attendance on Friday 29th April as crowds celebrated the Royal Wedding. Across the weekend, a host of celebrity chefs, more than 100 producers and foodie workshops drew in the crowds. The Royal Wedding celebrations took the festival by storm on the Friday with thousands watching the event on a giant screen and exhibitors selling far more than they’d planned for. Pebblebed Vineyards, from Topsham who produce sparkling wines, had almost sold out of the bubbly it had brought for the entire weekend as Friday drew to a close. Geoff Bowen at Pebblebed said: “The atmosphere was electric. People were naturally in a very celebratory mood and our sales went through the roof. We were obviously delighted that people were celebrating with a local Devon sparkling wine but it did mean a last minute dash out of the festival to replenish stocks!” This year’s festival had a fantastic atmosphere with three live music stages across the site showcasing talented local musicians throughout the three days as well as during the After Dark events on Friday and Saturday nights.   We had a super festival this year with a fantastic atmosphere. It is interesting to see the announcement that Jamie Oliver’s ‘The Big Festival’ is looking to combine food and live music in the way that we already have, it's definitely the way to go and we wish him all the very best with his event     Michael Caines, Chef and Festival Co-Founder

 

Coldplay and La Roux at Exeter Castle Coldplay and La Roux played an outstanding concert at the Exeter Castle last Christmas. It was in this festive, intimate setting that La Roux and Coldplay performed, with fans travelling from as far as Germany and Italy to attend this unique, star studded concert.   I don't think there could be a better way to end the decade. We're proud to support Mencap and, for me, it's exciting to play my hometown. It's going to be really, really special.     Chris Martin, Coldplay
