Exeter Corn Exchange is Exeter's largest city-centre multi-purpose events venue, on Market Street (EX1 1BW) and run by Exeter City Council. Its main auditorium holds 500 either seated or standing (the venue's own hire page states both figures) and carries a full and varied programme of live music, comedy, dance and theatre - September 2026 alone has Taylormania (a Taylor Swift Eras tribute, 11 September), Hello Again - The Neil Diamond Songbook (12 September) and The Beast UK's Iron Maiden 40th-anniversary tribute (13 September) alongside touring comedians and a burlesque cabaret. Two meeting rooms, a bar and a foyer sit beside the hall. A flexible, well-equipped civic venue rather than a small grassroots room. Box office 01392 665938, venue hire 01392 665866.
