Why Dance At Move?

  • Bespoke Funktion-One Sound System – our custom rig has been installed and finely tuned by Funktion-One themselves; giving you unmatched sound clarity and bass you can actually feel without going deaf.
  • Intelligent Lighting System – our club is kitted out with the latest immersive lighting system that includes lasers and moving heads, controlled by a new Ai powered DMX system that never misses a beat.
  • Intimate Atmosphere – get up close and personal with your favourite DJs in a proper underground, small capacity club!
  • Friendly Crowd – we have one of the best reputations in the South West for our lively and welcoming crowd. You may arrive with a couple mates but you’ll always leave with so many more!
  • No Internet Connection – as we’re located deep underground we have purposely not installed a WiFi connection within the club. This creates a more engaged dance floor as ravers aren’t reaching for their phones on every drop.
  • Great Location – you’ll find us in Exeter’s historic Quay, you’ll know when you’re close when you see the cobbled streets.
  • Affordable Clubbing – we get it, times are tough, but we also know getting to experience music with your mates is one of the best forms of therapy. All of our in-house events are priced to be as accessible as possible, as well as all the drinks you’ll find at our fully stocked bars.
  • By purchasing your ticket in advance you have no idea how much this helps keep events like this going. Your support is greatly appreciated in helping Exeter keep its thriving underground scene at Move.
