Doug Bushby, Chair of Torridge District Council, said:

"We want everyone to experience the incredible range of events Bideford has to offer. Too often, people say, 'I didn't know that was happening!,' however, the new calendar which can be found at www.discoverbideford.co.uk should make it easier than ever to find out what's going on in the town.  What's great is that most of these events are free and there really is something for everyone.  I would like to thank all the dedicated volunteers and hardworking organisations who by putting on these events help to bring our town to life."
