Save Frank, Stagecoach Exeter Depots cat

Apologies I have been asked to share this with the Exeter Reddit, I don't post much or at all so don't know what is allowed or if I have done this correctly.

The engineering director for Exeter depot has made a magnaminous decision to make Frank the cat homeless, full story in link but please can you read and sign the petition if you have a chance.

Countess Wear Speed Cameras

Do these cameras just enforce speed, or are they also used for red light violations ?

Filming Location

I’m looking for a small alleyway to film a short fight scene. Does anyone know a place that doesn’t have many people around and wouldn’t cost money to use? Thanks.

New to Paignton and Looking to Make Friends in Paignton/Torbay/Exeter 🌸

Hi everyone!

My name’s Azura, I’m 25 (soon to be 26), and I moved to Devon last September to study Business Management at the University of Exeter. While I’ve love my time at university, I haven’t really made friends likely because I’m a mature student and haven’t found much in common with younger classmates.

This is my first time living in Devon and the South West, and while it’s absolutely beautiful here, I’ve found it a bit tricky to settle in and meet people. I’d love to change that!

A little about me:

I don’t drink, but I love socialising in other ways 😊

Hobbies: eating out at cafés, visiting museums, art and crafts (I’m very creative), photography, interior design, baking, shopping, going for walks, exploring beautiful scenery, reading, going to the cinema, visiting the beach, and the zoo

I enjoy church and am hoping to find one in Paignton (if you know of a good one feel free to let me know)

I have two lovely cats, Sushi and Soba 🐾

I’d love to meet like minded people in the Torbay/Paignton/Exeter area for coffee, walks, museum trips, or any thing related to shared interests or hobbies or just general friendship. If any of this resonates, please reach out I’d really love to connect!

I normally hang out in the Devon sub, but I haven’t posted there yet because I don’t have any karma in that community, so I can’t make a post. I do spend time in Exeter too, so I thought this sub would be a good place to reach out, hoping some local folks and folks from Torbay/Paignton might see this.

I’m looking to make new friends in the areas mentioned, maybe grab a coffee, go for a walk, or just hang out. If you’re around and up for it, I’d love to connect!

I did an Accounting & Finance degree a few years ago before deciding to embark on a Business Management degree in 2025

An interesting fact, I once had hair so long (40 inches!) that my nickname was Rapunzel but I cut it all off for The Little Princess Trust and now have a bob cut. I also did some work experience in a veterinary hospital as a veterinary nurse, which was really interesting. 

I’m hoping to meet like minded people in the Torbay/Paignton/Exeter area for coffee, walks, museum trips, or anything related to shared interests, hobbies, or just general friendship. 

I normally hang out in the Devon subreddit, but I haven’t posted there yet because I don’t have any karma in that community. So I thought I’d try here, hoping some local folks from Exeter, Paignton, or Torbay might see this.

If any of this resonates, please reach out I’d really love to connect!

I have added some pictures which include a chocolate Christmas wreath and piano cake I made, my pets, the fact I enjoy museums, and eating out. I am interested in trying new things too. I'm very open minded 😊

Thanks for reading! 😊🙏🏻

Any decent comedy nights on coming up soon?

I'd really like to check out some comedy clubs or something. Even if it's an open mic night for comics. I'm only finding old stuff or larger acts on google - would like to see some more amateur type stuff. Thanks.

Best option to keep Reform out in Priory Ward?

Can't really find any information polling wise at such a local level. Just wondering if anybody has any solid information about who is most likely to come second or first out of Lib Dem, Green, and Labour in my ward.

That site posted yesterday didn't have any info.

The psychology of horror movies discussion - Exeter Phoenix 11/5/26

I went to the psychology of horror seed talk at Exeter Phoenix last night. I thought it was really interesting and touched on a few topics I had some previous knowledge of. As I went alone, I didn't have anyone to debrief with, if you went, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Alanis Morissette Powderham Castle, changes to Drop off pick up

We are off to see Alanis Morissette in June and reading the ticketmaster email it seems like they have done away with the Drop off pick up area, can anyone confirm this as historically we have got a Taxi there and back again picking us up at the pick up area?

Man with one dread and other characters.

I suddenly had a flash back a few days ago to a man that used to be around exeter with what appeared to be one massive clump of dread on his head. Someone i mentioned it to said it was the dread of his dead brother that he'd knotted into his own hair. Anyone? There's also a guy who prays at traffic lights. Any other flashbacks to local characters?

Edit. Said plays at traffic lights. Meant prays.

Exchange to Exeter

Hey guys, so I’ve surprisingly had Exeter accepted as my exchange University Partner for January next year. I sort of had it as a backup, and now I need to make sure that I actually want to do it, as its quite a big move.

I’m coming from New Zealand, so the flights are pretty expensive. The UK is also pretty expensive to start with, as the NZD basically halves converting to GBP.

Do you think Exeter will be worth it for me? What’s it like as a city? I like vibrant young towns with a bit of Dance music - I like hiking, surfing, running, eating good food.

  • What’s the city like expense wise, do you think I’ll break the bank, if I come over with say $10,000 NZD?
  • I’ve got a few mates living in London - am I right in understanding its only a couple of hour train? Is it expensive?

Is it easy to travel from? I’d ideally like to see a good chunk of Europe where I can, is it relatively simple to just get to London and travel from there, or does it all get a bit complicated?

looking to make some more friends locally

I'm pretty introverted in my early 20s, so making friends hasn't always come naturally to me. Most of the friends I had from school have moved on with life, and I rarely see them these days. Anybody know any good places to meet new people in and around Exeter?
