A scheduled family festival in Princes Park this summer could lead to disorderly behaviour and crime and have an impact on swans, according to claims.
In July, the Far Away Land festival will arrive at Princes Park for a three-day family-focused event across four locations on site. An application for a premises licence by the event organisers has been made to Liverpool Council to allow for a series of activities and amusements, as well as the provision of alcohol.
The five-day licence application seeks permission to perform live and recorded music and dance at the popular public park, but a dozen residents have contacted the local authority making their opinions known about proposed alcohol sales and the staging of wrestling during the event. The events are staged in four hour slots in what the Far Away Land promoters describe as “fantastical family fun”.
