Complete Details

Get ready to drop the needle on something special. Handsome Dicks Records is making its highly anticipated return to the heart of Exeter for a one-day-only immersive vinyl experience. This isn't just a record fair; it’s a curated celebration of physical media, independent artistry, and the enduring warmth of analog sound. Nestled in the iconic underground atmosphere of The Cavern, this event brings together collectors, audiophiles, and casual listeners for a deep dive into the crates.

The event features an expansive selection of high-quality vinyl, ranging from the rarest first-pressings of 1970s punk and classic rock to the freshest releases from the UK’s thriving independent scene. Whether you are hunting for a "holy grail" record or just looking to discover your next favorite band, the Handsome Dicks collection is hand-picked to ensure there is zero filler and all killer. We pride ourselves on the condition and curation of our stock, moving beyond the generic bargain bins to offer music that truly matters.

Beyond the browsing, the event serves as a vital networking hub for the local music community. The atmosphere will be charged with live DJ sets throughout the day, spinning exclusively from the Handsome Dicks catalog to showcase the breadth of our collection—from soulful jazz cuts to heavy-hitting alternative anthems. It’s an opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts, swap stories about legendary gigs at The Cavern, and discuss the technical nuances of hi-fi setups with experts who live and breathe music.

For those new to the hobby, we will have a dedicated "Turntable Tech" corner. Here, you can get advice on how to maintain your wax, choose the right stylus, and ensure your home setup is delivering the best possible audio fidelity. We believe that music is a tactile experience, and in a world of digital streaming, there is something profoundly grounding about holding an album cover, reading the liner notes, and engaging in the ritual of the playback.

This April, join us as we transform one of Exeter's most storied venues into a haven for crate-diggers. Handsome Dicks Records has always been about more than just a transaction; it’s about the culture that surrounds the music. We invite you to lose yourself in the rows of sleeves, enjoy the subterranean vibes, and take home a piece of musical history. Don't forget to arrive early—the best gems always find a home in the first hour!
