Cornish Music Festival Moves

Beach Break Live, a popular student festival usually held in Cornwall, has just announced that it will move to Kent this year due to a disagreement with Cornwall Council.

The organisers of Beach Break Live exclusively told Thisiscornwall.co.uk on Tuesday that they have been given the go-ahead from Kent Council to hold the festival at Port Lympne. Originally, it was slated to be held in St Agnes from June 16 to 19.

According to the BBC, while many authorities - including the police - had no objections to the festival being held at St Agnes Beacon, councillors raised concerns about students partying too close to local cliffs and vetoed the event.

Celia Norowzian, one of Beach Break Live's organisers, said: "We are delighted to still be able to hold Beach Break Live but hope to return to Cornwall in the future. We had mitigation measures in place to address all issues raised and feel we have been let down by Cornwall Council."
