Saturday 26th Detonate Halloween Festival Cancelled

October 25th, 2019

Press Release from Kathryn Pyer from organisers ‘Set it Off Ltd’ 1717 hrs 25th October ………..

It is with huge regret that we have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to cancel the upcoming Detonate Halloween show. Over the duration of the week there has been a huge amount of rainfall on the site with considerably more forecast for the days ahead, and despite bringing in additional teams, groundwork specialists and a vast amount of additional trackway, it has been decided today that it would be unsafe to open to the public. The rain today has fallen in such severity it has made conditions impossible to continue.
