We’re devastated to report the heart-breaking news that we have no choice but to cancel this summer’s HeritageLive festivals at the Englefield Estate, the Audley End Estate and the Sandringham Estate.

We’d been working desperately hard behind the scenes to conclude an investment and equity package to ease the burden of an extraordinarily tough year, but this last beacon of hope has fallen through at the 11th hour, making it impossible to go ahead.

As one of the few remaining British independent promoters, it’s become almost impossible to compete in what has become an increasingly saturated festival market.

The might of huge multi-nationals has had the adverse effect of driving up supplier, artist and staffing costs and whilst it’s still just about manageable during a normal year, the cost-of-living crisis combined with general financial uncertainty, has resulted in several shows having far lower than average ticket sales, making it impossible to survive in such a competitive industry, with so many rising costs.

It would therefore be irresponsible and wrong of us to proceed without the certainty that we’d be able to meet all of our supplier, artist and crew costs.

The whole HeritageLive team is absolutely devastated. It would have been the most amazing summer with such an extraordinary array of supreme talent and we’re all so very sorry to let everyone down.

Ticket Refunds

You will have bought your tickets via one of our reputable ticket agents, either AXS Ticketing, Ticketmaster, See Tickets, Gigantic, Skiddle, or Ticketline. Please locate and keep safe your ticket transaction receipt, which would have been emailed to you from one of the above ticket agents, following your booking. As the ‘merchant of record’ ticket agents are bound by the Consumer Rights Act to process your refund “without undue delay” and in many cases this will happen automatically within a reasonable period, but please contact your ticket agent directly should you have any queries.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported and enjoyed our events over the past 10 years. Whilst this is devastating news, we hope that in time you’re able to look back with fond memories to those happier days; we’ve had so many awesome and magical moments over the years and hope they remain in your hearts forever.
