We are delighted to welcome back to the Corn Exchange the amazing Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - for two performances.
Eight Ukuleles, sixteen hands, thirty two strings, sixteen million minutes, one billion seconds, thirty years. In June 2015 the Orchestra had clocked up sixteen million minutes of ukulele action. By September 2016 they will have been active for one billion seconds.
They play ukuleles, they sing, they say funny things, they whistle, but they bring a lot more to the table than that.
'Pure entertainment', 'Magisterial', 'The best musical entertainment in the country', 'A much loved national institution' - just some of the things audience members and reviewers have said in attempting to encapsulate the indefinable magic and atmosphere of all round good humour, light heartedness, well being and joy which permeate the live concerts.
Among the venues they have sold out are the Royal Albert Hall (twice), Carnegie Hall (twice) and Sydney Opera House, but we think that secretly their favourite venue is Exeter Corn Exchange

If you know 'The Ukes' you won't need any persuasion. If you don't then book your tickets now, you won't be disappointed.

£24.50 

Shows at 2pm (doors 1.15) & 7.30pm (doors 6.45)
