The future of the popular Geronimo family festival is in doubt as the company behind it has gone into liquidation leaving artists without payment.
Thousands of families packed into Arley Hall in May for what was the fourth year of the event, which was first held at Tatton Park back in 2015.
But founder Simon Goldman says the festival – which has featured CBeebies stars such as Mr Tumble and Mr Bloom among its headline acts – has been a loss maker and the investor team behind the event have decided ‘they don’t wish to continue with the losses’.
The result is that the company Geronimo Festivals UK Ltd has gone into voluntary liquidation – when artists and performers who worked at the festival have still not been paid.
