The annual summer Charlbury Riverside Festival has been cancelled.

The free two-day music event has been called off as it does not have the support of police, and organisers cannot afford to pay for private security.

Last year a man claiming to be an undercover police officer attacked two men with a baton near the festival site. He was given a two-year suspended jail sentence after being convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The festival, which started off as a jazz picnic, has been held in Mill Field in July for the past 10 years.

The town's Cornbury Festival, which is not linked to the Riverside event, will still go ahead on July 8 and 9.
