The event will close at 2pm on the Monday.

The organisers have also applied for a licence for alcohol to be sold at the festival from midday to 2am on the Friday and Saturday, and from midday to midnight on the Sunday.

Ludborough Parish Council and some residents have objected to the plans on grounds of traffic management, public safety, and public nuisance.

The festival organisers have been contacted for comment.
