Summer Days Festival

**EVENT CANCELLED**

Summer Days, the new boutique music and food festival that launched this year, has been cancelled.

This year’s event was scheduled to take place at Clitheroe Castle between 6 and 9 July with headliners Simply Red, Jools Holland and Echo & The Bunnymen.

A spokesman for Summer Days said: "After serious consideration we are heartbroken to announce that Summer Days festival 2016 will not take place. We have looked at every angle possible to keep the event live but due to a combination of factors including rising cost and newly arisen logistical obstacles we have no choice but to call Summer Days off.

"All ticket holders will of course receive a face value refund and should contact their ticket vendors directly.

"Support for Summer Days has been both incredible and humbling and makes this decision all the harder. You have our heartfelt apologies. Thank you again for all your support."

Summer Days promises to be a three-day boutique music and food festival in one of the North’s most beautiful and unique locations. With two live stages featuring more than 30 artists, a locally sourced gourmet food village and a dedicated real ale area there is much, much more still to be announced.

Said organizer John Tyrrell: “Clitheroe Castle is the perfect location for Summer Days. The grounds are stunning and the castle itself as a magical backdrop is going to be jaw dropping. It’s also not the first time a music festival has happened on this site. Clitheroe Castle Pop Festival ran here for four years in the early 70’s with artists like Barclay James Harvest, UFO, Roy Harper and MC5 so in a way we are rekindling the fire.

“It’s going be a quintessentially English summer event - great food and drink, a fun, friendly atmosphere and some seriously good music!”
