A statement from Nottingham Green Festival: Due to a policy change by our insurers, that we weren't informed of until now, we have had to let go of some of our planned stallholders. This is because they won't provide the one day cover needed to any stalls promoting "political, religious or cultural issues". If we were to include these stalls, the insurance we've paid for the entire event would be invalid and we would not be covered at all. As you can imagine this isn't a risk we can take. We considered cancelling the event, but we didn't want to let down the wonderful caterers, artists and other stall holders who've been working so hard and investing money into the event. So, we will be going ahead, but not as planned; we're doing a bit of last minute rebranding and today's event will now be known as a Nottingham Green Fair. Please enjoy the amazing local entertainment, goods, and vegan food stalls here today. We will not let this dampen our spirits! We are still in touch with the stallholders who were unfortunately turned away and we sincerely hope to be able to host an event with them again. Keep an eye on our social media for more information regarding this very difficult decision.
