TICKETS have gone on sale for the fifth annual Chudfest, billed by the organisers as 'a summer extravaganza packed with events to suit all ages, tastes and purses'.

Although the main attractions are not due to get under way in Chudleigh until July 3, a number of private gardens are set to be opened to the public this weekend.

Events planned for the ten-day festival itself include a red, white and blue ball on July 4 featuring a four-course supper and close-up magic.
