Welcome to Exeter Respect
Exeter Respect is the city's annual celebration of diversity when we use the full range of performing and creative arts to promote multi-cultural understanding and say no to racism and all forms of prejudice. Our festival has grown year-on-year in scale, scope and quality - and this year's celebration features a wider range of events than ever.

Last year Exeter Living magazine stated that: "When it comes to sheer drama, rich sounds and colourful diversity there really is nothing quite like Exeter Respect" and we are confident that our 2008 festival will live up to our hard-won reputation.

We have, as always, worked with a wide range of organisations in order to put together our vibrant festival, but this year three agencies have given us an unprecedented level of sponsorship and support in-kind, for which we are particularly grateful:
Devon County Council, Exeter City Council and Unison South West Region.
