“To ensure the festival can still take place, the live music and street food outlets will now be staged on the Western Lawns from 11am to 6pm on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 July, and entry is free.”
All other activities, including the skating arena and watersports, will continue to take place at Buzz Active and Fisherman’s Green, according to the council.
