Swap cancelled Down to the Woods festival tickets for Kendal Calling or Riverside Live

Last week it was announced that the festival at Hardwick Hall, near Sedgefield in County Durham, due to be headlined by Primal Scream, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Chase and Status, had been cancelled.

Organisers cited poor ticket sales as the reason behind not going forward with the planned festival on August 13 and 14, which had previously been held as Hardwick Live.

Now two other North festivals have stepped in with offers for those who'd bought tickets for Down to the Woods.

Riverside Live organisers Stanley Events are offering those who were planning on attending the chance to come and see Lee “Scratch” Perry, Craig Charles, The Undertones, The Ordinary Boys and more for a special discounted rate.
