Dear Campers, Unfortunately, we write to you today with news that truly saddens us, following the latest Government announcement it is no longer possible to hold CamperFest or the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival 2021, on the Easter weekend. We have taken advice from our local council, Environmental Health and other event stakeholders which have ultimately led us to make this decision once again. The new dates of the food festival will be the 26th - 30th of August 2021 and of course the venue remains the same, Chester Racecourse. We apologise that this is necessary, but I am sure you will all be aware this is outside of our control and the safety of our visitors is our top priority. You may still check in from 2.00pm on Thursday the 26th August or arrive on the day of your choosing as with previous CamperFest’s. In essence this event remains exactly the same as the one that would have been staged last Easter, we have confirmed the same talent but with the distinct probability that we have substantially better weather. With the progress of the vaccine rollout, we are confident that the August Dates will go ahead with reduced restrictions. Please be aware that you do not need another ticket, the ticket you have already downloaded or kept on your phone confirming your ticket purchase will suffice. After a difficult year for us all we hope that the festival will give you and your families the much-needed getaway together we have all been hoping for. We believe staycations like this to be a safe and enjoyable way of bringing people together and the break from our homes we are all after. In the event that it is not possible for you to attend then please write to us explaining the circumstances of your inability to attend and we will start a waiting list so that as new people book we will refund those on the waiting list who take your place. Please bear with us this process will likely take a few weeks. Once again, our apologies for this postponement but I am sure you will all agree it is now the only responsible decision left to us and it ensures our event will take place in the manner that was intended. Kind Regards,
The Festival Team. |
