    Default Festivals Cancelled

    The Car & River festivals have been cancelled this year. Could Stratford's one-trick-tourism-pony be running out of puff?

    Once again BID provides such great value to those that fund it.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    The food festival's been cancelled too. Things aren't looking great for Stratford at the minute: https://leamingtonobserver.co.uk/new...al-hour-46173/

    It might be back on - good luck to LSD Promotions, it ain't going to be an easy job at 6 weeks notice: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...k-on-the-menu/

    Sounds like a lot of rot has set in at the BID: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...stratford-bid/

    I have yet to see a BID that delivered value. Mostly they have cost businesses and offered very little in return.

    That's the impression I get of Stratford's.

    The music festival's gone now: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...-of-education/

    The 'focus on education' angle doesn't fit with me. I suspect other motives behind the cancellation.

    Considering the weather, they did very well.

    Quite impressive, considering the multiple muck-ups over the last few years.
