A DAY of fantastic free entertainment for all will take place in Chagford on Saturday August 25 as the carnival comes to town.

Organisers have lined up a day of activities in the Square to cater for the whole family. Events kick off at 11am with children's face-painting and fun with children's entertainer the Amazing Hat McKool.

At noon there is Scales and Tails, an interactive animal experience, and 1pm sees the performance of songs from Disney's Beauty and the Beast by children and young people from Chagford and the surrounding area.

1.45pm sees a fun 30-minute musical medley, followed at 2.15pm by a swing dance display, offering visitors the chance to take part.

At 3.30pm there is more live music from With Nell and I, followed by Devon's premiere samba band Streetheat at 4.45pm.

The party atmosphere continues with music from the Fireblockers at 5.30pm, and many eyes will turn to Chagford Primary School at 5.45pm for the judging of the carnival classes.

There are 12 classes in total. The procession leaves the school field at 6.30pm, working its way through Chagford to the Square. This tear's procession is on foot.
