The night is young
It’s easy to sympathise with the freshers’ plight. Your first hours in Exeter might proceed with a certain lingering itch – having bid goodbye to your family, with all the requisite hugs and assurances of moral character, your neck-hairs bristle as one of your slack-jawed, doe-eyed new friends suggests a night out. You leap, but […]
The Lemmy’s Renaissance
Saturday May 26th marked the rebirth of a legend. Like a phoenix from the ashes, Saturday Lemmy has returned. Kind of. “Lost Saturdays” as it is now affectionately titled, promised a “huge, naughty affair with an extra side of fun”. It was definitely huge, in as much as the queue stretched back to the business school […]
Farewell to Exeter’s beloved DJ Willby
I won’t lie, it was a shock. It is Sunday, March 4th at about 9pm that I learn the news. It’s about ten minutes after the publication from DJ Willby on his social media. I log on Facebook on my phone, start scrolling down until I see this picture of a sad emoji which makes […]

Maybe you confessed your undying love to someone you really shouldn’t have, or had one-too-many and drunk cried all over Wednesday Night TP and most of the way home. Maybe you […]
The Freshers’ Week fixation on drink
Freshers’ Week: one of the most challenging weeks of a young person’s life. It asks you to get drunk and go out with complete strangers whilst simultaneously demanding you make as good a first impression as possible. Now it may just be me, but this somehow seems counter-intuitive; the drunk version of myself can hardly […]
Fever Finally Opens its Doors: but can it live up to the hype?
Fever & Boutique, which makes the tally of Exeter’s nightclubs no longer possible to count on one hand, has been described as everything from ‘the best night, man’ to ‘a dizzying labyrinth of hedonistic drunkenness’. Free wristband snug around wrist and cigarettes in bag to prepare for the much-touted smoking garden, one must queue for […]
