Exeter Respect Festival is the city’s annual celebration of diversity, where performing and creative arts are used to engage the wider community in saying no to racism and all forms of prejudice. The Respect ethos is a simple one: racism and prejudice often spring from fear, and fear is often based on ignorance, so we can overcome ignorance by getting to know one another and sharing not shunning our cultures, faiths and beliefs. One of the best ways to get to know someone is to enjoy yourself with them, hence our celebratory event and adoption of the old Commission for Racial Equality slogan: All Different, All Equal!

Hiroshima Day is usually held on 6th August, commemorating the day in 1945 when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, followed a few days later by another dropped on the city of Nagasaki.
In 2015, marking the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima, there will be a commemoration on Saturday 8th August. There will be a free crane making workshop in St Stephen’s Church in the High Street at 10.15am. Then from 11am, the Lord Mayor will lead a Procession from the Church to the Peace tree on Southernhay West for an Interfaith Ceremony of Remembrance.
