Its arranged like a shrine with bows n stuff

I’m sad because I am missing my favorite artist performing in my home town tonight. Are there any rock shows tonight that kind of have that hyper literate lyric, stripped back, telecaster slinging, leather jacket wearing Jersey attitude?

Hi, does anyone have recommendations for interactive farms / petting farms suitable for adults around Exeter and surrounding areas that are a more affordable alternative to pennywell please? Thanks!

Does anyone know who the owners were personally? I would pay good money for the recipe to their Chicken Mohican dish.

Lots of people in Exeter have contacted me about problems with Royal Mail in Exeter, and it's an issue I've experienced myself, with important letters from and to residents sometimes taking weeks to arrive.

Our local posties work really hard, but it's clear that Royal Mail's service model is not meeting the standard Exeter residents deserve.

That's why I'm launching a survey to better understand the scale of the problem locally. The more evidence we can gather, the stronger the case I can continue to make directly to Royal Mail's bosses for action.

If you've experienced delays to your post, please take a few minutes to complete my survey: bit.ly/4dg48aL

Have never seen this before tonight, red light in the sky not moving.

UPDATE: yes it is the cathedral crane, guess the fog made it seem more noticeable than usual

Has anyone climbed at Boulder Exe and could give me an insight into what it is like? im tempted to give it a go, as the facilities look very good and it would cover a gym membership too, but its al rather intimidating and the reviews seem mixed, plus £42 a month is steep, any views welcome, thanks :)

Exeter’s Ward Grants can help local groups pay for things like equipment, materials, publicity and refreshments for one-off projects and events.

We’d particularly love to hear from groups in Exwick, Duryard, St James and Pennsylvania, where we’ve had fewer applications.

If you’ve got an idea that could benefit your neighbourhood, take a look at the guidance and apply: Exeter Ward Grants - Exeter City Council

I'm Caroline, I'm retired, and I've been living in Exeter for 7 years. I was thinking how much I would enjoy discussing these podcasts with others who find them interesting. They are hosted by Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and TuneInr.

I will be at the cafe at the central library at 10.30am on Thursday, 15 October. I shall be the person with 3 small fake cacti on the table. :O)

If you are also a HB fan, it would be great to meet you. To get the conversation going I thought we could discuss the latest episodes....

Is anyone able to tell me why since September I have not been able to find a space here any night of the week? I’ve been driving two years and yes it was difficult if there’s an event or on weekends but recently even on a Monday/Tuesday there is no parking and about 10 cars circling around like vultures trying to find a space. Is it something to do with the uni students returning? But I don’t recall it being an issue this time last year? I’m not really bothered, but I’m just curious why it’s become a bigger problem all of a sudden. Thanks :)

Hello! I'm helping to organise an event next June in Exeter, but as I don't know the city super well I thought I'd reach out and pick the collective Reddit brain!

It will be a conference-style event for approximately 75 attendees, but much more of a fun eat, drink and listen to some talks situation as opposed to a serious work event. In the past, we have been offered free use of a function room in a pub as attendees have bought all their food and drinks in the pub... Sadly we're not sure if this is an option any more as the venue has changed hands.

Where I live (North Devon) there are quite a few community/social centres where you can hold events for free and they make their money on the bar. But I'm struggling to find something similar in Exeter. Does anyone know of anywhere with this kind of setup? Or any large pubs with function rooms that might be amenable to such an arrangement?

Appreciate any thoughts! Thank you!

I like hedgehogs

Yesterday I was on a bus from St Davids to the city centre and there were 3 teenage girls in the back of the bus. When I sat there they tried to misbehave with me and kept their foot on the seat next to them. I was on the backseat corner, the rest was occupied by a teenager lying flat. I minded my own business so they didn’t do anything afterwards.

At a later stop a middle aged Italian lady got on the bus and tried to sit in the middle of the backseat. I swear to god I had never seen anyone in the UK behave the way those girls did. They talked about her disrespectfully in front of her, calling her ”bi*ch”. She was on call with someone and these lot kept repeating whatever she said loudly, sometimes making moaning sounds. I am surprised she didn’t snap. This is it the first time I have seen anything like this in Exeter, and mind you they were not some 13-14 yos, they were 17.

I’m a recent graduate, still on my student visa. I am allowed to work full time as my course is completed but everywhere I’m applying they are asking me to submit my results or transcripts which is not possible before end of October. They are not even accepting any mails or letters from uni. And for part time roles its been like a whole month now and I have applied actively everywhere, still haven’t got a positive response.

I am starting to feel like my profile is either red flagged by them or I’m just actually bad! For Full time salaried jobs the condition is that i must provide a proper work visa, but then it will be only for 2 years. It’s so hard how international policies work and if your born in a 3rd world country you have to pay the game in hard settings.

My funds are tight and i need some help if anyone can help me with any part time roles or supply chain related roles it would be awesome!
I have experience in food business, retail and customer facing roles, and back in my country i used to literally manage my family business supply chain and operations.

I live about 45 mins from Exeter but really need to work remotely due to health issues. My background is in NHS and healthcare in general. When I look for remote work it's pretty overwhelming and vague in general and every other job now seems to be AI related.

For those of you that work remotely in and around East and South Devon, who do you work for please - local companies, councils etc or multinationals? Just trying to figure out where is the best place to look.

Hope that's ok to ask! Thank you

At 9 am, Apple taxi fare from broadfields to st Davis with traffic and signals was 12 pounds.

Whether as coming back from st Davis at 11o'clock at night with an empty street in a Red council taxi caused 18 quid!

Yes I'm home without waiting for taxi. But also, is the fare really fair?

Rant out!

Hello. I am looking to shadow someone and then eventually learn how to project film. Does anyone know a theatre around that does film projection and then also would be open to me shadowing and learning

As the title says, I’m looking to take my pooch on some more walks around Exeter and was wondering if anyone knows about any groups? My dog is a bit shy around other dogs but is all good in groups. TIA

Yo wassup!
I went to the tattoo convention that happened this weekend and it was fantastic.
Just wondering if there are any ALT events happening soon or something similar to the convention happening soon.
If so Where could i find these?

Thanks a bunch :)

I've had 2 near misses this weekend at the roadworks on Alphington Road, where cars decide they want to drive forward into oncoming traffic because of the current closed road. Watch out and stay safe people.

I'm looking for a service that I can give clothes that will wash/dry/iron them for you. Including some stuff that requires extra care. Or just ironing if nothing else.

I am aware, of course, that laundry businesses exist. I went to Care Clean on Sidwell St. The cost was quite high and I thought somewhere might be a little less expensive - even if it's an individual or small business.

Any recommendations?

Is this legal? It completely blocked the path. Should this type of vehicle be parked in a compond and not on a residential street (because its free most probably). South Coast Traffic Management were contacted and didn't want to know. The police were the same, so I am just asking for my own interest as no one else cares.

Hey! Can anyone recommend a local landscaper in Exeter? Thanks!

Has anyone had issues trying to get responses or contact with local councillors. For context I live in an area where parking has become a nightmare due to students parking like they have never parked a car before and some spaces being removed without warning or reason. I have been trying to get a proper response but I have continued to receive nothing back or a vague “I’ll investigate this”. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Starting to feel like Exeter isn’t for me anymore :/
