 Exeter Carnival
Return of Exeter Carnival welcomed after thousands watch city centre parade
The successful return of Exeter Carnival in the city centre has been welcomed by City Council Leader Phil Bialyk.
Thousands of people watched the parade through the city centre on Saturday evening.
Exeter Carnival began its journey in 1977 and was held annually until its 20 year run concluded in 1998.
Coinciding with the Christmas lights, InExeter brought the carnival’s creativity and community spirit back to Exeter to celebrate all that the city has to offer.
Cllr Bialyk said: “This is a wonderful event and it was great to see so many people coming into the city to celebrate. A lot of work has gone into this and I am so pleased to see the results.
“These are difficult times for everyone with the cost of living crisis continuing and I think people welcomed the chance to attend a free event. The carnival brings people together by giving them the chance to come into the city centre and enjoy themselves.”

Jibber Jabber Jamboree marks Ross Noble’s 21st solo stand-up tour.
To celebrate this milestone, he invites you to join him for an evening of the sort of inspired nonsense that has cemented his place as the supreme master of stream of conscious freewheeling stand up.
This is a chance to see Noble live on stage in his natural habitat.
What’s it about? What will we learn? How will it change the world? Are all pointless questions to ask when Noble is off on one of his tangents. Grab a ticket and come and enjoy the ride.
