Westpoint

Tonight the Westpoint Arena, on the outskirts of Exeter, paid host to hugely successful indie-rock band Florence and the Machine, writes Flo Eggins.

Nearly 8,000 people made their way to the arena to watch arguably the most high-profile music act to perform in Exeter for many years. Tickets for the event had sold out virtually straight away when the concert was announced in September, demonstrating the popularity of the band.

Unfortunately, the fantastic performance of Florence Welch and her band was marred for many by severe problems with traffic getting to and...

It’s only been nine months since Holiday On Ice was last at Westpoint with Robin Cousins‘ excellent Tropicana , but given the reception the latest spectacular, Speed , received last night, it has lost none of its appeal for Exeter audiences.

Speed is merely a premise around which the show is choreographed: each half has five distinctly separate pieces - Speed of Love,...

What a great night we had on 5th November, courtesy of The Exeter Daily. I just can't believe how much money must have been spent on the fireworks, the pictures on this site are great but don't do the event full justice. The display went on for ages and the fireworks were spectacular from start to finish, towards the end it was mind-blowing with lots all being set off at the same time and merging together in the cold night sky. Great that it was a clear night, even though very cold.

Thank you Round Table, well worth a visit and I will be coming again next year !

Westpoint Arena was heaving last night for the Round Table's annual Fireworks Display, which raises money for local good causes. And the crowds were not disappointed. This spectacular event has grown to become the biggest fireworks display in Exeter, and taken on a new dimension since moving to Westpoint three years ago.

Blessed with a clear night, everyone was dressed for the cold, but warmed by the atmosphere. From the food stalls to the fairground, this had all the ingredients of a recipe for success. However, naturally it was the explosive fireworks display...

The BIG Cake Show, joined by charity partner Sparks, Glenn Cosby, Peter Gorton and over 450 cream tea lovers from across the South West, smashed the current cream tea party record.

Organised by The BIG Cake Show, Devonians came together to break the world record for the largest cream tea party by consuming one scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and a cup of English Breakfast tea. As well as the cream tea, revellers were able to watch a scone making demonstration from Chef Richard Hunt and Great British Bake Off contestant Glenn Cosby, along with viewing an array of...
