A statement from organisers says:
"It is with our deepest regret that due to the adverse weather conditions leading up to this event in conjunction with the extreme weather warning as issued by the met office for the weekend, we were left with no other decision than to abandon this weekends MFEST.

This was a joint decision made between the promoter,the production team, health and safety and Harewood House.

We sought advice from a number of agencies including Leeds City Council before making the decision.

The public's health and safety is of paramount concern, therefore it would be irresponsible to continue however disappointed we all are.
