A cast of vocalists and a live band play Ed Sheeran's biggest hits by candlelight inside Exeter Cathedral.
The Music of Ed Sheeran by Candlelight comes to Exeter Cathedral on Saturday 30 January 2027. It's a tribute night rather than a solo turn, with a cast of vocalists and a full live band taking on Sheeran's biggest hits. The set list pulls from across his catalogue, with Shape of You and Thinking Out Loud alongside I Don't Care, Galway Girl and Castle on the Hill.
There's a fair bit of ground to cover in one evening, and the show works its way through the contrast between his more heartwarming ballads and the foot-stomping classics. Instead of a single cover, the songs are shared across a cast of vocalists, all backed by a live band. The whole thing is played by candlelight inside the cathedral, which Simon Jenkins of The Guardian once described as 'architecture as theatre'.
On the practical side, the cathedral runs a fully licensed bar on the night, so you can grab a drink before you take your seat. The promoter also offers flexi tickets, which can be cancelled and fully refunded up to 72 hours before the performance if your plans change.
