FamFest Warrington

Organisers of FamFest Warrington, a new family focused festival due to come to Warrington next month, have today announced the difficult & heart-breaking decision to cancel the event.

They understand this will be hugely disappointing for all who have watched the plans grow and purchased tickets to the event. A full statement is available to view on the festival facebook page @famfestwarrington

Ticket holders will be able to get a full refund by contacting the ticketing agent that they purchased tickets through.

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'.
