Hiya Clive! :D ,

The news that it has been cancelled again doesn't come as a surprise. I was more surprised when I saw they were advertising a show this year.

Does anyone know if they were trying to charge those fancy-pants prices like last year?

They didn't Graham. But my recollection was they advertised it (with eye-watering prices for exhibiting/camping) ........then cancelled it.

Likely.

Especially as they still refuse to refund those who "rolled over" their tickets due to covid.

I hear they have a large group taking them to court over refunds?

NB: I noticed that the "contact for refunds" is a different person, so checked them out.

It seems that the people behind War and Peace have "Gone Under"!

Yes it does seem that way doesn't it. Only one reason you'd be directing enquiries to an insolvency practitioner.

Sorry to hear you're out of pocket - i guess you just have to register your claim with the IP and let the process take its course....

Yup, that's about the gist of it.
Claim in, including all emails from W&P refusing to offer anything other than "rolled over entry"
