Life on the Beach

This is a joint venture between Exeter Cathedral and members of Churches Together in Central Exeter. There are three guiding principles behind Life on the Beach, which aims to share and explore the love of God creatively through:

· Imaginative presentation
· Sensitive conversation
· Generous hospitality

Life on the Beach was the vision of Canon Mark Rylands, Diocesan Missioner, and Dimitri Tsouris, Orthodox icon-writer, who saw the Cathedral Green being used very much like a beach.

They planned to find fresh ways of bringing the Gospel to this natural performance area. On set Saturdays throughout the year, a local church takes ownership of the day and lays on a variety of different entertainment such as choirs, bands and comedy acts from a main stage plus a lot of activities people can get involved with.

Christian concerns like Devon Green Action, TraidCraft, Christian Surfers and Christian Aid also come along and provide information and engage with the people mingling on the Green. There are also teams on hand to give out free refreshments and Fair Trade Products.
