Did you know that weather recordings were made here at the Devon and Exeter Institution for 158 years? Our book display for July and August explores these incredible records.

Drop in on Wednesday 8th July, between 1-3pm to meet Deborah Ashfield, the curator behind our new display ‘The Weather Keepers: 158 Years of Meteorological Observation at the DEI’.

Our Book of the Month blog for June explores the extraordinary life of chemist and inventor Sir Humphry Davy.

We run a year-round programme of events and activities, including evening lectures, tours, book sales, workshops, performances, exhibitions, and more, and we welcome new members and visitors of all all ages.

Subscribe to our quarterly newsletter, and every three months you’ll receive an email direct to your inbox that tells you all about what’s been happening and what’s coming up at the Institution.

It’s the best way to find out what’s happening!
