Exeter Living Awards 2023 Showguide

CELEBRATING THE BEST IN EXETER

THE GREAT HALL, UNIVERSITY OF EXETER, 30 MARCH 2023

Welcome to the Exeter Living Awards 2023! Tonight, we pay homage to you, the bold and brilliant organisations who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make Exeter the thriving and caring city that it is. Your sole job this evening is to kick back, have fun, and show a bit of love to your fellow Exonians.

Speaking of which, on the glittering roster of nominations this year we are delighted to welcome a fresh batch of exciting new businesses that have burst onto the scene with their unique offering, making a big impression on the city in the last year or so. Equally commendable are this year’s old-timers, the businesses who’ve been going for years – some a whopping 25 or 30 years – consistently growing and developing their businesses through some, let’s face it, pretty testing times. We welcome and congratulate each and every one of you.

A huge and hearty thank you to everyone who has contributed to tonight’s awards: our independent panel of judges, our wonderful sponsors, photographers, caterers, and our hosts tonight, the University of Exeter.

Finally, we raise a toast to you, Exeter! With ground-breaking, community-focussed businesses and charities like yours, it makes our job of celebrating Exeter a joy.

Have a glorious time tonight, and don’t forget to hop on the coach for more celebrations at The Botanist, where the festivities and much dancing will continue into the night.

Oh, and mark your calendars for the special edition of Exeter Living, the bumper Exeter Living Awards Review issue which publishes on 5 May; it’ll be filled with glittering party photos from tonight, plus all the winner pics. Who knows, that could just be you…
