An informal summer service of celebration that has been held in Chudleigh for many years. Originally tied in with the Carnival, the service is organised by members of the Baptist and Parish Church congregations. With leaders and musicians from both churches, we seek to give thanks to God for our community of Chudleigh, celebrate all that is good about our town, and pray for the needs of those around us, and the wider world.
Everyone is very welcome to join us in the Marquee, and refreshments will be available afterwards.
To open the revelry of Chudfest we are holding a Beach themed party in the Marquee, with the highly acclaimed live band “Reckless” providing a whole night of funkymusic to boogie to. There will be a tasty BBQ supper included in the ticket price and a fully licensed, reasonably – priced bar to help get the party going! Doors open at 7pm and the party finishes when the band stops playing. So grab your loudest shirt and your hula skirt and join the party.
Tickets £20, available from Woods Estate Agents, Fore St, from 10am to 12 noon on Monday 30th May and from Thursday 2nd June at the...
Westpoint has issued an apology after some music fans missed out on Elton John's concert in Exeter last night.
Five-mile tailbacks built up going into the showground, leading to chaotic scenes.
Westpoint bosses used twitter to keep those trying to attend informed.
They said a mixture of issues had contributed to the problems including a number of minor accidents.
One tweet said: "We are sorry people are experiencing delays due to traffic jams. The management are fully aware of the situation and are taking on feedback."
A 24 hour celebration of the wonderful wildlife of our parish!
Help us to record as many species of animal and plant as possible in Chudleigh over a 24 hour period by bringing your records to the marquee so we can add them to the total.

The research, published today in the scientific journal EbioMedicine, shows a link between the amount of IgG antibodies in a person’s blood and their likelihood of being protected against an adverse cardiac event, such as a heart attack. IgG is the most abundant form of antibody and is found within all bodily fluids. It is...
