The Money is back for one night only

Spend the money on whatever you want. Just keep within the law.

The Money returns to Exeter for one night only.

The event, created by Kaleider, launched last November at Exeter’s Guildhall and its unique premise caused quite a stir. The audience, or players, can dictate much of the action meaning the outcome can be completely different each night.

To participate, players either become a Benefactor donating at least £10, or a Silent Witness watching as a group of Benefactors decide how to spend their collective money. Silent Witnesses can buy their way in if they...
