'Festival of Brexit' costing £120m attracts less than 0.4% of 66 million visitor target

A £120 million "festival of Brexit" which was supposed to attract a massive 66 million people has brought in less than 0.4% of that figure, according to reports.

It is claimed that the Unboxed celebration - consisting of events up and down the country - has seen just 238,000 visitors pass through since it began in March.

The much-maligned project has been beset by issues, with its creative director saying it suffered by being "politicised" - and saying it had nothing to do with the UK leaving the EU.
