NO TO HYDE PARK FOR FARMING FESTIVAL Royal Parks pull out of agreement
A major farming festival planned for central London is looking for another venue after Hyde Park pulled out of the event.
Organisers behind the Farming In The Park bonanza aimed to attract more than one million visitors to Hyde Park during May 2014. But the Royal Parks authorities now say Hyde Park is no longer available for the event, which would showcase the best of British agriculture.
Essex farmer Guy Smith, one of the directors event, said "Royal Parks have changed their minds about the availability of Hyde Park for Farming in the Park. so its back ot the drawing board"
Some 100 food and farming representatives - including the Duke of Edinburgh - attended the official launch of Farming in the Park at St James Palace last year. Prince Philip was patron of a similar Festival of Food and Farming in 1989, which drew over one million visitors to Hyde Park.
Grand Ring displays and central exhibits would include cutting-edge farming technology - including tractors and machinery - and livestock.
