ORGANISERS of the Hatherleigh Festival are promising to make this year's event the best yet.

The UK's greatest Take That tribute band — The Take That Experience — are already confirmed for the Friday night, and tickets are available from today (Thursday) for just £10. More acts will be announced over the coming weeks.

Last year's festival included tribute band Ultimate Madness, Hatherleigh Silver Band, a combined church service, salsa workshop, bookclub, professional football coaching by a former Bristol Rovers defender, live acoustic Irish roots music and portrait sketching — there really is something for everyone.

The four-day festival takes place between Thursday July 28 and Sunday July 31 and more information is available at http://www.hatherleighfestival.co.uk">www.hatherleighfestival.co.uk
