New Site Found for Beach Break Live Festival

Organisers of the Beach Break Live Festival Beach Break Live festival organisers have announced they have found a new site to host the festival, which takes place on the 16th to the 19th of June.

The event will now take place at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent.

Event organisers were forced to find a new location after councillors voted against granting permission for the festival to take place in its original setting at St Agnes, Cornwall on the 27th of May.

In a statement, Beach Break Live organiser Celia Norowzian said she was delighted the festival will now definitely go ahead.

"I can't say how delighted we are," she said. "This has been a heartbreaking few weeks, but we literally feel like a miracle has happened!

"The most shocking thing is that Cornwall's economy is really struggling in the recession – there's over 30 firms going bust every day, but we're still doing our best to bring as many Cornish firms and artists with us as possible."

Acts playing Beach Break Live include Dizzee Rascal, Mystery Jets and Friendly Fires.
