The English Riviera Food and Music Festival in Torquay has been cancelled due to rising costs.

The organisers of Devon’s Big Weekend & Balloon Festival decided as a gesture of goodwill to allow ticket holders to attend their festival for free.

To gain entry ticketholders are encouraged to email organisers as soon as possible as they only have a certain amount of places allocated. They can be contacted by email at: rowlandseventgroup@gmail.com
