A Leeds music festival has been pulled with organisers citing challenging financial issues.
Newsam Park Festival was due to take place this weekend at Newsam Green. It was being organised by the team from Leeds music faves Mint. The team have confirmed their Mint Festival is still planned to take place in September.
A Mint spokesperson said: “We have taken the difficult decision to postpone Newsam Park Festival until 2024. In an increasingly difficult festival landscape, with the rising cost of production and cost of living, not to mention the general state of the economy, we didn't want to pass these growing costs on to our attendees.

“As a company, we did the same with our other project, Mint Festival, last year in order to take a step back, regroup and put more thought and effort into this year's edition – which we are really excited for.”
Mint Festival 2023 will be happening at Newsam Green Farm on Saturday, September 16 and Sunday, September 17. The line up includes resident MiNT Warehouse DJs Annie Errez and Bobby O’Donnell, as well as Salute, Rossi, Ben Hemsley and East End Dubs.
