THE new Ashburton Town Guide, a 52-page booklet containing useful information for residents and visitors alike, listing organisations, societies, sports clubs and churches, as well as details of many local amenities, is out now.

Tourists will find it handy if they want to find somewhere to dine out or visit nearby places of interest, while locals can find useful contacts for businesses, shops and services.

It also illustrates just how vibrant and busy the town is, giving details of events taking place over the summer, including carnival week, food festival and the bread weighing and ale tasting ceremony.

The free guide can be found in pubs, shops and businesses in the town, so why not pick one up and get exploring?
