Shrewsbury Fields Forever delayed until 2016

Shrewsbury Fields Forever will be held in July 2016, organisers have said

A Shropshire music and arts festival has been cancelled because it could not find a venue.

Shrewsbury Fields Forever had to leave its Greenhaus West Mid Showground location in March because of "contractual difficulties".

Organisers promised to bring it back next summer at a new site in July, rather than September.

Showground chairman Lance Jackson said he had suggested "alternative options" but an agreement could not be reached.

Festival director Dene Edwards said that because of contractual difficulties he could not come to a mutual agreement with Greenhaus.

He said all tickets bought for this year's show, which had been due to take place from 11-13 September, would be valid next July.

He said: "We are going to move the show to a new venue and there will be extra attractions.

"The show has not been cancelled, it has been postponed."
