The Cafe at 36 in St Thomas Exeter supports local artists, providing a space for small art exhibitions, or individual paintings and photographs.
We are thrilled that Naomi Hart, who is a well known local artist, has a small exhibition of her latest paintings at the Cafe. The paintings are inspired by a road trip to the Kimberley region of Australia in 2011.
Naomi will be exhibiting her work at Hope Hall in Heavitree as part of the Exeter Open Studios event at the end of March, but if you can't wait until then pop down to the Cafe and have a look. Naomi can also be seen in...
Leaving the Exeter Northcott with your mouth open after seeing a Theatre Alibi production is starting to become a regular occurrence. Curiosity Shop , which had its premiere tonight is the latest in a line of jaw-dropping productions by Exeter’s own Theatre Alibi.
A modern-day adaptation of the Dickens novel, the show blends photography, music, film and Theatre Alibi’s signature immersive performances and the end result is an utter triumph.
Directed by Nikki Sved, this is a very different style of performance from their last show here, The Crowstarver , which was quite...

Brixham started well, trying to feed their forwards who were...

It was exciting to hear that the great and the good ventured up to London recently to see the launch of Exeter’s Triple Crown status on Bill Boards and in Underground Stations, maximising Exeter’s profile to London businesses who may be contemplating doing business with the region or relocating to this beautiful area of ours. BUT, what about the businesses based in Exeter that would also like to shout about Exeter’s buoyant, trend bucking successes; something all of us based in Exeter are part of?
A little while back we raised the idea of a Triple Crown logo to be developed for...
International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.
1908 Great unrest and critical debate was occurring amongst women. Women's oppression and inequality was spurring women to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. Then in 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.
1909 In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the...
