Exeter City FC’s annual summer celebration, Party at the Park, returns to St James Park on Saturday 28 June - promising a full day of family fun, football, live entertainment and community spirit.
Open to all and free to attend, the event will raise funds for the Exeter City Community Fund and is held in partnership with Nevada Construction. Gates open at 10.30am, with festivities kicking off from 11am and continuing until 6pm.
One of the day’s highlights will be the launch of the club’s brand-new 25/26 home shirt, accompanied by appearances from both Exeter City Men’s and Women’s players. Fans will also have the chance to join in a training session with the Women’s team on the inflatable pitch at 1pm.
The Junior Grecians Family Zone will be open with games consoles, table football, and more, while other attractions include inflatable challenges, face painting, food and drink stalls, charity displays and a Grand Raffle with some fantastic prizes. Live music acts will take to the stage throughout the day, with a full performance schedule set to be released next week.
Funds raised will support seven local and international charities through the Exeter City Community Fund: Exeter City Community Trust, Exeter Community Initiatives, Alright Mate? CiC, Exeter Leukaemia Fund, Devon Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Services, Refugee Support Devon, and Brazilian charity Onda Solidária.
In 2024, the club raised over £20,000 for its community fund charities, thanks to donations, fundraising efforts and initiatives like the Eco Cup deposit scheme.
A message from the club read, “We are proud to continue supporting these seven incredible charities and to welcome everyone to St James Park once again. Party at the Park is about bringing the community together and celebrating the causes that matter most.”
More details, including the full music line-up, will be announced on Exeter City’s website and social media channels in the coming days.
