TICKETS for two of the hottest events at the Hatherleigh Festival are now on sale.

With Take That currently one of the most popular bands in the country, organisers of the festival take great pleasure in announcing the UK's premiere tribute act to the band, the Take That Experience, as the openers for the music part of the festival.

The act recreate the experience of a live Take That show with replica costumes, energetic choreography and music beloved by many.

For fans who were unable to get tickets for Take That's current tour, or if you did go and wish to relive the experience, the concert takes place at the Hatherleigh Community Centre on Friday July 29.

On Sunday July 31 the one-man show 'Two Halves of Guinness' will touch and amuse the audience as it gives a touching and insightful portrayal of one of Britain's greatest ever actors, Sir Alec Guinness. Trevor Littledale produces an uncanny portrayal of Guinness through his lifelong marriage, and his work in the golden age of British cinema and theatre.

Tickets for each event cost £10 and are available from Hatherleigh Pottery or Hatherleigh Papershop. Alternatively, call the box office on 01837 810624.

Ticket sales for these events help to keep the rest of the festival free, so organisers hope to have as much support for these events as possible.
