Exeter Respect

Exeter Respect Festival is the city's annual celebration of diversity in which the local community comes together to use the performing and creative arts to say no to racism and all forms of prejudice by celebrating our differences. The festival has grown and grown since the first event in 1997 and in 2011 a staggering 20,500 people attended the incredible Respect In The Park free 2-day event. Respect In The Park features 3 performance stages, a dedicated Children''s Area, Dance Workshops, a Healing Zone, Storytelling, Fire Service demos, a Co-operative Village, Fair Trade & local craft stalls, food, licensed bar and lots more with a celebratory atmosphere second-to-none which has made it one of the city's biggest events! Each year Exeter Respect relies on the support of the local community and businesses to make it all possible.
