Grecian Goal are looking for more pledgers to join their movement, in order to help Exeter City Football Club raise cash for projects – and to help add to the £7,000 that they have already collected for a series of specific ventures for the club. Currently Grecian Goal has around 40 members, who contribute funds in a bingo-style fashion and have some fun in doing it. Pledgers set their own terms and conditions, ranging from the sensible to the eccentric – some past examples of pledges include £1 per goal scored by City, 50p if no cards, £10 if a seagull lands on the pitch whilst the game...

Five fiddle players front this fiery outfit, highlighting the distinctive flavours of music from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The regional styles of each fiddler are exposed before a combined explosion of music as they all get together.

Directed by Sandra Loveday
Performed by Emma Daw and Joe McNulty
Ticket Prices: Adult £10, seniors & students £8, child £6.

Acclaimed singer songwriter Gwyneth Herbert releases her new album, Sea Cabinet, in March.
Every day, a woman walks the beach alone. She collects each discarded or washed up object she finds and takes it home, cataloguing it with the care and rigour of a scientist. These objects are placed in ‘The Sea Cabinet’, and each one sings with the memory of a secret sea-set story – the victory of a Fishguard cobbler’s wife, a jaded seaside hotel, a sunken chapel, the shifting sands of wartime Alderney, the dangerous allure of the King’s Shilling, the loves and the losses and the stars and...
