The organisers of a highly anticipated event have announced when it will finally go ahead.

Brighton's first Pub in the Park was due to take place on September 16 to 18 in Preston Park but was postponed out of respect to the late Queen whose funeral was held on September 19.

It has now been announced that the foodie festival will take place from July 14 to 16 next year.

A spokeswoman said more information on the music line-up and when people can get tickets will “follow soon”.

“We’re excited to announce that due to popular demand, Pub in the Park is coming to Brighton this summer,” she said.

“From July 14 to 16, Preston Park will be turned into a foodies' paradise as Tom Kerridge and his band of world-class chef mates bring mouthwatering food and chart-topping tunes to Brighton.

“More info on music line-up and on-sale date to follow soon.”

Organisers have promised a “bigger, better line-up” for next year and said the team is looking forward to bringing the major event to the city.

The three-day festival, which is the brainchild of Tom Kerridge, will feature live music, cooking demonstrations from big names, shopping and other entertainment.
