Projects.

In 2022 InExeter won Gold at RHS Britain in Bloom acknowledging our investment in landscaping and greening the city. InExeter fund over 140 hanging baskets (summer and winter displays), 5 flower beds and 14 stand alone planters on Sidwell Street. InExeter have also invested in the refurbishment of benches on Sidwell Street.

A new project launched in 2022, InExeter started working on projects to cover worn, unsightly and heavily tagged walls across the city with bright, vibrant colourful pieces from local and national artists.

InExeter fund a cleaning team to work proactively and responds to business need. The service operated 5am to 12 noon Sunday to Thursday. In 2022 the service completed 6895 cleaning visits and 5461 cleaning tasks.

InExeter run and manage city centre events to draw footfall, create a better perception of Exeter and support business. In 2022, InExeter brought back Exeter Carnival to the city after 24 years. The carnival brought the whole community together, the event saw people travel into the city that otherwise would not have visited and benefitted more businesses than the traditional light switch on. Other events include the Secret Events that encourage people to discover new things in the city and Green Coat Tours which introduce residents and students to the city and inspire them to explore Exeter. InExeter also commission filming and drone footage of events and the city centre.

Here at InExeter, we love a good market! From the Fore Street Flea to the Exeter Independent, markets bring vibrancy and appeal to our streets. From brand new start-ups to established traders, the ever changing nature of markets ensures that there’s always something new and interesting to discover. As well as driving footfall and creating memorable experiences, markets are the perfect way to support small and shop local. But it’s not all business- the markets are also incubators for community- places to meet stall holders and friends and to connect with others. We are excited to be supporting and enriching the markets culture in Exeter.
