ORGANISERS of a Hampshire music festival have cancelled a winter event after a teenager died and 80 cars were destroyed in a fire.

Eighteen-year-old Olivia Christopher was found in her tent at BoomTown Fair, held at the Matterly Bowl near winchester, last Monday.

And earlier at the 60,000 capacity event a blaze broke out and 80 cars were gutted in the blaze.

Organisers have now revealed that in the wake of the festival, a future Bath and West showground event will no longer go ahead.

A BoomTown statement says: "Although there were many amazing things that happened at the festival last weekend, the incidents that did occur, we feel we should take some time to take stock of.

"As a very close team with so much love for the community that is created at Boomtown, we are absolutely devastated by the news of our festival attendee who tragically passed away.

"Our thoughts are with the young lady’s family, friends and loved ones.

"We are also currently going through the process to follow up individually with all those affected by the fire, and feel that focussing our energy on these incidents is where it is best placed at this time."
