Exeter's Unexpected 2014 Festival set its sights squarely on pulling surprises where least anticipated.
The 2014 Festival brought some of the UK's most explosive street theatre, circus shows, performances and workshops to the open-air streets, cultural venues and public spaces across Exeter's city centre with an action-packed programme of extraordinary, family-Festival fun to end the summer holidays.
