About the Festival

The Festival is held each year in the regal courtyard of Exeter Castle and the surrounding Northernhay Gardens, in the centre of Exeter. It traditionally takes place over three days, with two evening Festival After Dark Events featuring live music, chef demos and a great atmosphere.
