  • I should also add that she had also paid for other day festivals in Lichfiled that this company were supposed to be organising, but when the council knew of the issues with the Yorkshire dales food and drink festival they cancelled them.

    My daughter was a vendor for this festival, who has paid nearly £500 to trade, she has been trying to get her money back from the organisers who have now blocked all email addresses she has for them as well as phone numbers. 
    She has also unsuccessfully tried to get her money back via her bank but as this was bacs transfer she is unable to do so.

    She is a young woman in the start of her business and this is a lot of money for her, so if anyone has any details of the group claim we have heard about please let me know.

    Many thanks
    Sadly you have exhausted all options.
    Who did she pay for the event? See below, as may give a bit of hope if it was Creative, if it was events then. Pointless taking it to court as they have no funds. So no point wasting further money.

    Yorkshire dales food and drink festival was cancelled as they did not have the required licences.

    Rather than sending people PM's, asking questions.
    Ask in forum. But as nothing was posted about name, & as previously stated poster is not around. Who knows what it was called.🤷‍♀️
