Tee-P total
Usually my nights out include being highly intoxicated with the inability to hear a song I vaguely like without screaming in excitement, but the necessity of a course of penicillin meant that on one night I was stone cold sober. “Timepiece” and “sober” don’t seem like they should fit in the same sentence. Yet, while […]
Unit fun
It’s time for a little bit of much needed honesty here, okay? No one comes to Exeter for the nightlife. At no point in human history have the bright lights of Unit 1/TP/Rosie’s/Lemmy featured in anyone’s decision to go study here.

The unofficial Exe-it list
Having just completed my first term, it’s already scarily clear what it entails to be an Exeter student.

From the (not so) fresh faced freshers to the breaking down third years, the Exeter experience can only truly […]
Fever and Boutique could be shut down
New-to-Exeter nightclub Fever and Boutique could lose its license, or have its opening times changed, due to complaints of transient noise. The club could be closed in order to prevent residents in the surrounding area near Fore Street and Mary Arches Street from taking further action. “We are working closely with the local authority to […]
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 […]
