Exeter Phoenix turns 25 in 2024. Help us celebrate!
Published February 14, 2024
In 1999 Exeter Phoenix landed: A multi-arts venue dedicated to bringing the best cultural experiences to the people of Exeter and the South-West. For 25 years we have championed the weird and the wonderful, the visionaries and the risk-takers, offering a safe space for our community to be who they want to be.
During these 25 years we have grown and spread our wings, allowing us to platform thousands of bands, artists and performers. The support from our communities saw us expand our auditorium, build a solar-powered cinema (Studio 74) and make new spaces to create from store cupboards and empty walls. Not content to restrict creativity and growth to our own four walls, we have also reached out across the city, enabling and driving the creation of new cultural spaces, platforms and opportunities.
Innumerable numbers of creative careers have launched here, their visions released out into the world to fly!
Throughout 2024, look out for a fantastic range of special events, stories and opportunities marking this milestone. We want to celebrate with all of you - because we wouldn’t be where we are today without you!
Together, let’s look forward to the years ahead, what would YOU like to see from us next?

There will be opportunities throughout the year ahead to share your stories and memories and we can’t wait to hear from you!
