Organisers feel that without the appropriate backing, this year’s voluntary run FREE community festival would not reach the undoubtedly high expectations after the immense success of last year’s event. Instead, organisers are planning a series of high profile fundraising events between now and the summer of 2010 and calling on local businesses to get in touch and show their support to ensure the next festival, planned for August 21, 2010 is the very best ever.

Lara Jaffey, organiser says: “It is with a heavy heart we have had to make the decision to postpone Pink Festival 2009, however, we look forward to taking this opportunity to strengthen ourselves, relationships with our partners and we look to the future of the festival with hope and positivity. Thank you to everyone who has dedicated their time and energy to the event this year and in the past.”
