WORCESTER Food and Music Festival has been forced to change venue just days before the event was set to take place.

The festival, organised by Social Eats, was scheduled to be at Worcester Racecourse on Saturday (August 3), but a technical issue with the licence at the venue forced the organisers to change plans. 

The event has been moved to Sixways Stadium on the outskirts of the city.

In a statement, Social Eats said: "We are delighted to be working with Sixways Stadium, the venue itself has ample car parking and is very easily accessed. 

"If you are based in Worcester, we have put on a shuttle bus which shall leave from the racecourse from 11:30am until 3pm, then returning from 8pm until 11pm."
