It has been announced today that the festival which was due to be held in June has been cancelled.
A spokesperson for the festival said: “We are extremely sorry for disappointing those who have loyally supported the festival and we will be processing refunds for those who have purchased tickets.

"We understand that those who did buy tickets will receive a full refund, and we urge ticket holders to follow the festival organiser’s advice which is to register for a refund by writing."
