June Boom

Celebrating arts, culture and creativity in the city.

To read reviews, blogs and write-ups, jump to the bottom of this page…

In June 2024, Exeter hosted a wide array of exciting events organised by community groups and creatives including the Respect Festival, Heritage & Harbour Festival, City of Literature Book Market, Exeter Comedy Festival, Africa Writes, and Dumpling Appreciation Day, to name a few.

This year, Exeter Culture alongside InExeter and Visit Exeter will build on and support these events by coordinating a citywide campaign for June 2025. This month-long celebration is designed to showcase the incredible events, arts, and cultural activities happening across Exeter in June. This initiative aims to unite the city in promoting Exeter as a vibrant, dynamic, and inclusive destination for locals and visitors alike. With something happening every day, from community festivals and live music to stand-up comedy and art installations, this campaign will highlight the richness and diversity of our city’s cultural offer. Together, we can make Exeter the go-to destination in the South West this June.

June Boom - Visit Exeter

Why are we doing this?

● Strengthening Exeter’s collective voice : A unified campaign amplifies the reach and impact of individual events, creating a cohesive narrative that attracts more attention and footfall to the city.

● Supporting local economy : By drawing more visitors and residents to the city centre, the campaign will benefit local businesses and enhance Exeter’s reputation as a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and entertainment.

● Showcasing diversity : With events catering to a wide range of interests and audiences, this campaign celebrates Exeter’s unique character and the creativity of its community.
