Organisers of FamFest Warrington, a new family focused festival due to come to Warrington next month, said the event has been called off due to unforeseen circumstances and rising costs.

Festival Director Pete Pinnington said: “It is with huge regret and disappointment that I have had to cancel FamFest Warrington from taking place.
“It’s always been an ambition of mine to host a family festival in my hometown of Warrington and I’ve put a huge amount of time, effort and money into the planning and preparation for this event.
“It’s heart-breaking that due to time constraints and mounting costs, the event cannot go ahead.
“The decision was not made lightly, but with unexpected expenses increasing, I would have had to scale back the festival in order to proceed, and I wasn’t prepared to compromise on the quality of event I had promised to the public.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank those businesses, ticket holders & media who have supported FamFest Warrington, and sincerely apologise for any disappointment and inconvenience caused”.
