Music festival moves venue

Jul 17 2009

Organisers of next month's 1980s music festival Retrofest say they have been forced to move venue after the discovery of toxic chemicals at the original site.

A survey carried out by Glasgow City Council on Richmond Park found that the ground was contaminated by chemicals, including chromium.

Ingenious Festivals Ltd, who run Retrofest, have moved the event to Loudon Castle, in Ayrshire, on their insurer's advice.
