What's on in The Point

Devon, England

The Point sits right on the edge of Devon where the sea breeze blows a bit salty and the locals know exactly how to spend a rainy afternoon. Open Door Exmouth has been keeping things lively with talks and workshops that feel as fresh as the air off the water. There are plenty of ways to get out of the house without needing to drive far from home. Near Here lists what's going on so you can grab a coffee before heading down to the coast or stay in if the forecast looks gloomy.

Live Music

The Big Yellow Tambourine Man Band

Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan are both ranked in Rolling Stone’s ‘Top Ten Singer-Songwriters of All Time’ and their legacy is honoured in this stunning tribute from The Big Yellow Tambourine Man Band. With unrivalled musical authenticity this multi-instrumentalist five-piece covers all the hits including ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, ‘Both Sides Now’, ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ and ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, fronted by Bob Thomson and Isabelle Nutton as Bob and Joni. An exhilarating evening of songwriting genius, expertly presented with passion and humour. Audiences will be taken on a journey through Joni’s and Bob’s histories, poetry and artistry, their trademark guitars and pianos backed by a full band and augmented with the evocative sounds of the Wurlitzer, harmonica and dulcimer. Be totally swept along on the trip by loving recreations of the pair’s most recognisable finery, with stops in Greenwich Village, Laurel Canyon, Isle of Wight and beyond. This talented and enigmatic freewheelin’ five-piece with an eye for detail will make you feel like you’re really there, man… “Not just another tribute… The best we’ve ever seen.” “Transportational harmonies.” “Really superb- taken right back to the ‘60s and ‘70s.” “These excellent musicians transported me gleefully back to a golden age.” TICKETS

Theatre

The Three Musketeers

Prepare for a hilarious and uproarious family farce brought to you by Our Star Theatre Company. This theatrical re-telling of The Three Musketeers is packed with laughter, lively audience participation and plenty of energetically silly performances. The story centres around a small troupe of performers gearing up for their highly anticipated debut performance of The Three Musketeers. However, as the curtains rise, all is not as it seems. What starts as a simple theatrical endeavour quickly unravels into a whirlwind of confusion, mayhem, and comical mishaps. From forgotten lines to chaotic set changes, the actors find themselves entangled in a series of laugh-out-loud blunders, much to the delight of the audience. This delightfully entertaining production is brimming with wit, slapstick humour, and a dose of good-natured silliness that will keep you on the edge of your seat, laughing from start to finish.
