For more than 70 years, the University of Exeter has proudly hosted live events across Streatham Campus. The Lemon Grove, an iconic nightlife institution, has been a stage for both rising stars and huge artists such as Muse, Blur, Years and Years and George Ezra. It's also the home for Lost Saturdays, Exeter's longest running student club night. The Great Hall, with its capacity for 1800 people, i

s one of the largest entertainment venues in the South West. Its colourful roll call features the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, The Vaccines, and Pink Floyd. The Ram, every student's favourite 'local' at the heart of campus, is where the live sporting action is at, as well as quiz and karaoke nights. Forum Kitchen, the newest and final addition to our venues list, serves up international cuisine and offers a place for external, independent vendors to share their delicious food with our students. A versatile space, it's available for open mic nights, quizzes and so much more. Most events are for the public and students, but please check individual event details before purchasing a ticket. If you're interested in booking a venue or have other enquiries, please email [email protected]
