“Severe adverse weather conditions so close to the coast prevent us from delivering our festival safely. Extreme high winds are set to persist through out Saturday and in to Sunday.

"The safety of everyone involved in this fabulous festival, whether traders or attendees, is extremely important to us so we had no choice but to come to this difficult decision.”

For people with advanced tickets, Skiddle will be in touch regarding a refund or rolling tickets over.
