Exeter Cathedral’s own Cathedral Players are busy rehearsing their production of 'Ring Round the Moon' by Jean Anouilh.
The show is an adaptation by Christopher Fry subtitled ‘A Charade with Music’ and described as a little puff-ball of a story, a bubble from a glass of champagne twinkling in the fairy lights of a Winter Garden. The performances take place within this year’s Unexpected Festival.
The Cathedral Players were formed in 2008 and have subsequently put on plays within the Cathedral itself, including T.S.Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral in 2012.
A successful programme of summer events in Seaton, along with a number of initiatives to improve the marketing of the town and increase business opportunities, has led to a general buzz of excitement and optimism for the town’s future.
These successes as well as very positive progress on the Seaton Jurassic Coast Discovery Centre were welcomed this week by the Seaton Regeneration Programme Board.
Twenty five businesses have started up in the town over the last 18 months and the number of empty shops has reduced from nine to three over the last 12 months reflecting an...
Only 24 hours after Save The Red Lion Campaign put its banner up in Sidbury village so that it was visible during the most important week in the village's calendar - Sidbury Fair Week - it has been stolen.
It's a shame that someone didn't want the Campaign's details to be publicly visible in the village. Luckily the campaign had two banners made and so this second one will be proudly visible in the village on 18 September on Sidbury Fair Day.
It is so disappointing that hard-earned Campaign Supporters' money has been wasted by such a childish act...
Exeter Chiefs are up and running following their home win over London Wasps, but head coach Rob Baxter knows his side will have to do better if they want to be in and around the top end of the Aviva Premiership.
After losing their opening fixture of the season at Northampton Saints, the Chiefs responded in fine fashion at Sandy Park as tries from Tom James (2) and James Scaysbrook, together with 15 points from the boot of Gareth Steenson proved enough to condemn Wasps to a second successive defeat.

John O’Flynn scored a stoppage-time winner for the Grecians as they triumphed 2-1 at Sixfields against Northampton Town.
The home side had started on the front-foot, with Leicester loanee Jacob Blyth slotting in after just six minutes.
It could have been two when his strike-partner Clive Platt was unlucky to hit the bar with a thunderous strike.
But Scot Bennett drew level before the break as he got on the end of a corner – and City sub John O’Flynn was on hand in the three added minutes to head home a cross and send the...
The government plans to introduce a five pence charge for plastic carrier bags in England. The announcement is to be made by Nick Clegg at the Liberal Democrats' annual conference in Glasgow this weekend.
Aimed at discouraging the use and disposal of plastic bags which may have an impact on wildlife and the wider environment, the plans follow figures from Wales which has seen a 75% reduction in their use since a charge was introduced there in 2011.
Both Wales and Northern Ireland have similar schemes in place with Scotland set to follow next year.
