A live music festival set to take place in Lewes this weekend has had to be cancelled at short notice due to flooding.

Lewes Live 2016, which was set to take place on Friday (July 8) and Saturday (July 9), had to be cancelled at the last minute after its site at Lower Stoneham Farm flooded during storms last week.

Festival organisers apologised for the disruption and have promised to refund all tickets and booking fees.
