A proposed family festival that sparked fears of crime and the impact on grieving swans is moving away from Liverpool.
Organisers of the Far Away Land festival event, scheduled to take place in Princes Park next month, have confirmed to the ECHO it will now be staged in Southport. A licensing application for the three-day event had been lodged with Liverpool Council with a hearing expected to take place on Monday which will now no longer go ahead.
The organisers had sought to secure a licence to sell alcohol, perform live music and stage a wrestling match as part of the family event at the popular L8 park. The events are staged across the whole day in what the Far Away Land promoters describe as “fantastical family fun”.
