Phil Batty, the executive director behind the so-called “Festival of Brexit”, has insisted the project has been a success despite its recording official in-person attendance figures of just 2.8m, a long way short of its initial target of 66m.
Mr Batty told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the £120m Unboxed series of arts events had “showcased the very best of science, the very best of tech and the very best of the arts”.
