A REGGAE festival and a popular dance festival near Swanage will not go ahead later this year.
Wolkswood Reggae Festival, known as the Notting Hill Carnival by the sea, is a four-day festival that has taken place in July at Wilkswood Farm in Langton Matravers since 2016.
The popular family-friendly festival had more than 50 acts lined up to perform this year, but the festival announced that this year’s event has been cancelled due to the “current financial position of the company”.
The Jurassic Dance Festival, which was also planned for Wilkswood Farm from July 29 to August 31, has also been cancelled.
Organisers said the company behind both festivals has entered into voluntary liquidation.

“It is with deep regret that we must announce that due to the current financial position of the company, we have made the difficult decision to place the company into creditors’ voluntary liquidation,” their statement reads.
“As a result, the company is unable to proceed with either of the planned festivals, and we must serve formal notice of the cancellation of both events.”
All festival ticket holders have been made aware of the situation, and they can claim money back.
“We sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding during this challenging time,” they added.
