Issue 84...out now!
Fiddler on the roof
Not many people could deny the beauty of Exeter Cathedral. It is stunning and is the focal point of the city. As the weather improves, so the green will fill with locals and visitors munching on their sandwiches, or just relaxing in the comfort of such a majestic building.
In this issue we celebrate our city and the shops and the businesses around the cathedral. With their wonderful positioning they have to be the envy of many (page 53).
Enjoy, and I will look forward to catching up with you in March.

A warm welcome to this, our City Special issue. Now, the City Special is one of those odd accidents that comes about due to there not actually being enough months in the year to name 18 issues after. Even if you add in four seasonal issues you’re still two issue names down and, in the bleak midwinter, you sort of find yourself in a state of limbo – hence the City Special.
Still, it is a very happy accident, as it gives us a chance to sing from the rooftops about how much we love Exeter. Imagine Topol, fiddle in hand, crooning away about matchmaking ,but instead of talking up his daughters talking up Exeter. That, ladies and gentleman, is us. Only minus the beard. And the fiddle.
Anyway, we certainly have got some Exeter-based delights for you here. On page 30 we take a tour of Exeter’s Guildhall, a building that has been at the centre of the city’s civic life for nigh on 800 years. On page 53 we’re hitting the Cathedral Green, while on page 40 we’re examining an eclectic little gift shop down on the Quay (and you’ll have to read the feature to understand the sheer majesty of the pun I just made there. A little treat for you).
Elsewhere we’re as one with the abstract artists (page 37), knocking up the perfect chicken stock (page 60) and getting a magnificent hair cut (page 70).
Exeter, it seems, just never stops.
