Join us for 'Telling Our Stories Finding Our Roots', an evening of rich storytelling, music and verse bringing a new multi-cultural perspective to Exeter’s history. Original stories of people from around the world, moving to, living in and affecting lives in Exeter.

Featuring true stories, traditional tales and secrets uncovered from Exeter’s past, the event will be hosted by local storyteller Sandhya Dave and local historian Lucy MacKeith. The stories will be told by members of the multi-cultural 'Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots', volunteer team inspired by historical research and interviews with local people.

The rich and varied programme will include stories of Black American GIs in St Thomas, Exeter's Jewish History, tales of slavery, abolition and more.

What people are saying about 'Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots': “... a wonderful evening where I learnt a lot and experienced many emotions”

“Well put together and indeed inspiring” Q&A with the performers after the show.
