June Boom

Now in its second year, June Boom is back! Join us for a spectacular month-long celebration, with an impressive array of over 200 events celebrating arts, culture and creativity in the city throughout June.

There’s live music to suit all tastes, and performance events spanning theatre, dance and talks, plus tons of comedy filling multiple venues. There’s also visual art and literature events happening indoors and out, alongside a panoply of vibrant street festivals and markets setting the city alight.

Unmissable highlights include the trailblazing Exeter Respect Festival, a powerful celebration of diversity now in its 29th year; the uncontainable energy of Exeter Comedy Festival, giving the South West the spotlight on comedy it deserves; the pioneering Reclaim Festival, championing women in the arts; Art Work Exeter’s ‘Custom Made’ residency, and the book lovers’ favourite Exeter City of Literature Book Market.

There will be world-renowned dance performances, like the Balletboyz at Exeter Northcott, international artist Bruce Asbestos's exhibition at Exeter Phoenix, the Creative Street Festival on Magdalen Road Summer Fair, and the launch of a new event, ‘First Thursdays’ on Gandy Street.

Music lovers can enjoy live shows at venues such as the Cavern, Exeter Phoenix, and the Corn Exchange, alongside more intimate locations such as 12 Bar Music and Social. The Royal Albert Memorial Museum will feature its new ‘Colour’ exhibition, with a special Rainbow Colour Clash Event taking place in Northernhay Gardens. There are plenty of talks, artist workshops, silent book clubs, tribute nights, Drag Bingo, and scratch nights to choose from throughout the month.
