Quickly drawing on a strength she never knew she had, Rita...

With the year drawing to an end and just three months until Christmas is upon us, tickets are now available for the much awaited Mediaeval Baebes Christmas Carol Tour which is taking place in Exeter Cathedral on Thursday 7th December.

Traditionally a time for reflection and celebration, what better way to glorify the season than to join the Mediaeval Baebes for a remarkable evening of music, dance and theatre in one of the UK's most magnificent Cathedrals.

A popular destination for online gamblers is celebrating a big milestone after they have helped players to claim over $10,000,000 that various online casinos had been withholding from them for a variety of reasons.

AskGamblers is a community for people who like to gamble online. Trust is always difficult when dealing with online casinos, because they can be located all around the world, and some of them aren’t as legitimate as others. What can happen, in some cases, is that people are denied when they try to withdraw their funds, and for many players that leaves them without any...

An unusual North American joins the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery’s collections.

Underweight but with no sign of predation, a sora rail (Porzana carolina) was found on RSPB’s Exminster Marsh on a cold morning in October 2016. The little bird was dead: a sad end for the second recorded sora rail to visit Devon. It is 20th recorded sighting for the UK.

The sora rail was found by RSPB’s Exe Estuary Site Manager, Peter Otley, during a regular high-tide bird count. There are 5 species of rail living in the UK: coots and moorhens are very common, the corncrake,...

Why You Should Binge Watch “You're The Worst” This Weekend

Season 4 of FXX’s You're The Worst has just premiered, and its episode-a-week format gives you the chance to catch up if you've missed the first three. Even if you're all caught up, I recommend going back and rewatching some of the most iconic episodes. If you can’t access You're The Worst because of regional restrictions, consider using a VPN (there are those that work even when your school’s blocked VPNs ). As you can tell, I absolutely love You're The Worst. I was initially drawn to it by Chris Geere’s portrayal of Jimmy, a British author living in the States. Now I’m hooked, and...

Comedian Rich Hall books Exeter date

Rich Hall and his Hoedown band begin their second leg of touring this autumn with their Hoedown show for 2017. Never has there been a better time to be an American comedian in the UK.

Hall’s precision dismantling of the tenuous relationship between the two countries is as freewheeling and deadly accurate as ever.

This Hoedown tour begins as a withering dissection of Trump’s America and all of its twists and turns, but ends up in a celebration of Americana. There’s stand-up, improvised ballads, cracking good musicianship, and ultimately a hilarious, foot-stomping, shit-...
