Exeter
Exeter Campus
Our hub is right in the heart of this great city.
Rich with art, theatre and music with a variety of arts venues and independent theatres like the Northcott Theatre, Exeter Phoenix, Lemon Grove, the Old Firehouse and the Corn Exchange, Exeter is a great place for musicians with plenty of gigging and work experience opportunities. Plus if you want the best of both worlds this is certainly the place for you – with the rolling Devonshire hills just a short drive away from the lively buzz of the city centre, you can’t go too far wrong. Oh, and the most famous music festival of all is a small hop away!
Exeter also has its share of music related enterprises including the famous Manson’s Guitar Works, who make guitars for the likes of Matt Bellamy (Muse) and Mikey Demus (Skindred). And our Exeter centre boasts some incredible teaching facilities and a dedicated, passionate team.
