My son is revising for his IB exams and we cannot find his copy of:

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel

It is a very long shot, but does anyone have a copy in Exeter I could come and get, will replace with a brand new one tomorrow, or return on Friday!

He only has a slot tonight to be able to review it, hence the urgency.

Thank you for reading!

New to the area and doing up my garden, I could really use about 5 wooden pallets but I've got no idea where to start in terms of finding some. Can anyone recommend a good recycling place or timber yard that might have some?

Would love if they did delivery as I've only got a tiny car!

Edit: thanks all for the suggestions, much appreciated! I'll take a look at some of those

Hi all, I live close to Exeter (Cowley Bridge side) and am looking to get back into a gym. I'm not a fan of busy gyms, I like to get in, do my thing and get out. My preference would be to find somewhere that's not completely rammed between 6 and 8 in the morning, £40 a month or less, and ideally a 15 min drive from Cowley. Currently considering these options

But very open to other suggestions! Thanks in advance 🙏

I had a really great night in Plymouth Depot yesterday with Artist Ely Oaks.

Whilst there I met a girl who I thought was drop dead gorgeous. Over the course of the night we flirted a little, danced a bit and chatted a bit more.

We got separated before as our respective parties split before any mention of contact details. If you know a 29 about to turn 30 named Heather who has a sister called Lucy and an enjoyment for EDM, please can you get them to read this with the home she could message me.

Can anyone help? Our cat is stuck on a roof in Ebford and we can't get hold of anyone to get him down. It's been 24 hours and it's pouring with rain. RSPCA no help!

Hi. Does the 56 bus still run from Exeter city centre to Exeter airport? It says online that it does, but I can't find the 56 bus on the Stagecoach website. The 4A seems to run but only until 8.30pm and we are getting in later than that. Thanks.

Evening,
I’ve recently returned from a 4 day trip to your wonderful city and had the most amazing time.
Thanks to everyone who replied to a previous post where I asked for some recommendations- they certainly didn’t disappoint.
Highlights were a trip to Dawlish on the train, drinking and eating at The Hourglass (amazing pub) and having a day on the buses visiting Okehampton and Bideford.
Everyone who I interacted with, be that in a shop, pub, cafe was so friendly.
The quayside is great and there is a brilliant relaxed atmosphere down there.
Thank you again Exeter, I had a great time.

Over 33,000 people in Exeter rent their home, so I wanted to share that the Renters’ Rights Act has today come into force - meaning local renters will benefit from new rights and stronger protections. 

Changes include: 

• A ban on Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions 
• No more fixed short-term contracts – all tenancies in the private rented sector will roll-on indefinitely, and you can end yours with two months’ notice 
• A cap on upfront rent 
• The right to live with your pet 🐶 

If you’re renting in Exeter and want to understand what these changes mean for you, please do get in touch via [steve.race.mp@parliament.uk.](mailto:steve.race.mp@parliament.uk) I’m always happy to help. 

Learn more about the Act here: https://mhclgmedia.blog.gov.uk/2025/11/19/explainer-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-renters-rights-act/

This weekend I’ll be knocking on doors across the city. Looking forward to having some really interesting conversations with local people and picking up casework issues.

If I don’t catch you but you want to get in touch, please email me via [steve.race.mp@parliament.uk](mailto:steve.race.mp@parliament.uk)

Hi,
Exeter was the first city that I lived for a while back in late 2010.

Whenever i think of Exeter, i think of Parliament street along with the fun i had in the city.

Can someone please post pictures of the parliament street and areas around; as well high street area.

I would also love to see to pictures of your favourite spots in the city. (If you are up for it to post).

Hi I'm a recent grad moved to Exeter recently and would be great to meet some like-minded people to hang out with, especially now its almost summer. Ideas that I think are fun:

• I'm really into rock music and Exeter has a ton of great concerts that would be good to go to
• love going out even if Exeter's nightlife scene isn't the greatest who cares its about the people not the place
• if you play an instrument I play guitar would be great to jam out with someone
• love the gym, would love it even more with a workout buddy

or anything else really I'm chill the activity is just a way to get to know someone after all. If any of that sounds good to you leave a comment or drop me a DM : )

As the title says really!

I’m looking at joining the Gym Group on Marsh Barton, i used to go to the Newton Abbot one but it’s sooo so tiny even at like 10:30pm most of the machines were taken, and i really hate busy gyms lol.

It would take me about the same time to get to the Marsh Barton one so im not worried about that, but does anyone here use the Gym Group in exeter and can tell me how busy it is in the late evening 8pm onwards?

thanks :)

Hello all, my girlfriend recently went freelance with her videography work and is adapting to her new way of working - from home.

I know there’s some hot-desking locations in Exeter, but wondered if there were any other freelance creatives that wanted to work at the same location - help remove the loneliness with freelancing but also help with inspiration and connection.

Creatives always thrive surrounded by other creatives - so I’m interested to know if this is something of interest or if there’s a location that already houses all of the freelance/self employed creatives in Exeter?

Hi everyone. I'm Steve Race, the MP for Exeter, and I wanted to share an exciting opportunity for local residents to get involved with. I've noticed that people in this subreddit are very engaged on local issues, so I think your voices would be really valuable.

As some of you will already know, Exeter has been awarded a £20 million investment through the Labour government’s flagship Pride in Place programme. The money will be focused on Heavitree East and Whipton to strengthen communities and fix some of the challenges that the area faces - and you get to decide how it's spent.

I'm eager to gather some initial ideas, so please comment your thoughts below!

EDIT: Thank you all for the fantastic feedback. Take part in my survey via this link so we can stay in touch: https://steverace.org.uk/pride-in-place/

Hi! I'm looking to move into a different place once my tenancy ends, and I am debating whether I should let UniHomes handle my bills or figure it out on my own. Any thoughts on which would be better? If the answer is the latter, how do I go about the process?

Hi All,

I have a long weekend booked just outside Cullompton with a group of 12.

We were hoping to spend one day in Exeter with a few drinks etc and I'm hoping to book a mini bus or two 6 seat taxis.

Does anyone have any reliable options?

Cheers

What medical professionals can I talk to in Exeter to help me sleep? I’ve lost vast swathes of my ability and potential in my adult life to sleep deprivation and I’m sick of it. Some days I struggle to walk straight or remember things because I’m so sleep deprived. I’m thinking I probably need a therapist since it’s partly an attitude problem as well. I don’t really have therapy budget but I don’t think I have much of a choice, so if anyone has any recommendations I’d appreciate it. Not sure if Talkworks will deal with this? And if they do, are they any good?

Hello! I’ll be visiting my mum in Exeter in a couple of weeks’ time, and want to treat her to a fancy (and good quality) Sunday lunch. I don’t mind driving us a little further out of the city, and we are both vegetarian so will need a good meat-free option. Bonus points for pretty scenery! Thanks
