The upcoming Cheltenham Tribute Festival is under threat of cancellation as licensing authorities raise serious concerns over public safety and noise levels. Scheduled to take place in just two days, the event’s future now hangs in the balance as officials deliberate on whether it can proceed without compromising the wellbeing of attendees and local residents.
Concerns focus on the potential for overcrowding, insufficient security measures, and the likelihood of excessive noise disturbing nearby communities. Organizers are in urgent discussions with local council and law enforcement to address these issues and implement necessary measures that would satisfy the licensing requirements.
The outcome of the licensing committee’s review will determine if this year’s festival will go ahead as planned or if it will be curtailed to protect public interests.
