TICKETS LEWIS CAPALDI

Powderham Castle is more than a picture-perfect landmark—it’s a living castle with a recognisable medieval core and later additions that create a truly cinematic silhouette. The venue adapts to different event formats, from intimate gatherings in its grand rooms to large open-air productions across the estate, so visitors feel they’re stepping into something genuinely memorable.

Inside, the atmosphere does the heavy lifting: stone walls, high ceilings, and historic details give events a sense of scale and a natural resonance that suits both spoken programmes and amplified performances. On event days, you’ll typically find practical touches such as clearly marked points of entry, places to pause, and food and drink options (depending on the organiser), helping the experience stay comfortable even when it’s busy.

For the exact spot, head to Powderham Estate, Exeter, United Kingdom. Arrival is straightforward with on-site wayfinding through the estate, and many events use organised parking on the grounds or a short drop-off area closer to the entrance.

Exeter, a charming city in Devon in South West England, blends a historic backdrop with a modern rhythm of entertainment and top-tier events. Thanks to a strong student and cultural scene, the city often offers a varied mix of concerts, sporting fixtures and nightlife, making it an ideal choice when you want a trip that feels rewarding beyond the event itself. Visitors appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, manageable distances and the sense that everything important can be enjoyed without rushing.

One of Exeter’s biggest advantages is its practical connectivity: you can arrive easily by train via Exeter St Davids (the main station) or Exeter Central, and by air via Exeter Airport (EXT). Around the city and to key locations, bus networks such as Stagecoach South West make it straightforward to reach arenas, stadiums and larger event spaces, whether you’re staying in the centre or in quieter neighbourhoods. The combination of walkable routes, public transport and a compact city core keeps planning your arrival and departure refreshingly simple.

For an extra layer to your visit before or after the event, stroll through the historic centre and around the impressive Exeter Cathedral, explore streets filled with local shops and cosy pubs, or head down to Exeter Quayside on the River Exe, where waterside paths and cafés give the city a special buzz. If you prefer a calmer pause, parks and viewpoints provide a great balance, leaving you with the feeling of a city that knows how to entertain and unwind equally well.

Lewis Capaldi, a Scottish singer and songwriter with a recognisable velvet tone and a gift for straight-to-the-point storytelling, has built a reputation for turning personal emotion into songs that speak to a broad audience. Hits like “Someone You Loved” and “Before You Go” lean on powerful hooks and a fearless, honest delivery, so listeners quickly connect with stories of love, loss and recovery. That directness makes him a regular pick for major arenas, headline tours and festival stages across Europe and beyond today.

On stage, Capaldi pairs a precise vocal performance with production that highlights clarity and warmth, so the experience stays convincing in arenas as well as outdoors. The set list usually balances ballads with more energetic moments, and the transitions are designed to keep the crowd engaged from start to finish. Promoters value his punctual, cooperative approach, while attendees often praise the steady sound, clean sightlines, clear lighting and visuals, and the safe atmosphere in the venue, even when it gets busy.

A big part of his appeal is an authentic stage presence: between songs he adds dry humour and short stories that ease the weight of the themes without losing focus on the music. That mix of wit and vulnerability creates closeness, as if it were an intimate club show, even when he is performing for thousands. The crowd relaxes, sings along more easily and follows the emotion of each track all the way through. At the biggest choruses, the whole room often takes over the melody, amplifying the feeling of togetherness.
