BecksFest, a family festival scheduled for July 5 and 6 at Beck Evans Farm in Water Lane, faced backlash from local residents who reported incidents of public disturbances during previous events. Organiser Danny Evans withdrew his premises licence application following objections from residents, police, and local authorities. The festival's team announced a postponement, emphasizing their commitment to collaborate with neighbors and authorities to address concerns. Despite the setback, they aim to create a sustainable, community-focused event that celebrates music and dance in a safe environment for all ages.
Neighbours expressed significant concerns about potential lawlessness during the festival, highlighting issues like drug use and public disturbances observed during past events.
Festival organisers chose to postpone the event to address community concerns rather than proceed amid unresolved issues with local authorities.
