Scarborough Fair - CANCELLED 2016 2016

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Scarborough Fair Festival has been cancelled. They made a statement saying, "After much consideration, it is with great sadness that we have to announce we can’t put Scarborough Fair Festival on this year. The organisers have been left with no choice but to call off the three day camping festival due to logistical issues.

After 18 months of hard work, the last 18 days have been the hardest.

As tough a decision as this has been for the organising team, we feel it's only fair to pull the event several weeks before, rather than get into a situation where we let more people down nearer the time.

All ticket holders will receive a face value refund.

Once again, you have our apologies - and our immense gratitude for your support.

Scarborough Fair HQ."
