The Royal Albert Memorial Museum was shortlisted in the Arts category and the Leisure & Tourism category, which were won by The Bike Shed Theatre and Exeter Street Food.

Working in partnership with Devon County Council and Sandy Park and the emergency services, we delivered a truly memorable experience not only for the people of Exeter but for those visiting this great city.
"For those who were unable to attend the matches at Sandy Park we put on a popular Fanzone in Northernhay Gardens and showcased Exeter on TV to a worldwide audience."
