SPECTRUM — The Autism Festival organisers have announced a number of its events — including the festival itself — have been postponed. 

A spokesperson said: "Due to the current national situation with Covid-19 and the latest Government advice on events, we have made the necessary decision to postpone the Spectrum Festival, The Mask Origins Theatre event and Fun House Experience.

"We have been keeping a close eye on the situation over the past week, drawing up plans for postponing the events rather than cancelling.

"We are working with our venue, acts and sponsors to keep our events alive and kicking until we receive an all-clear from the Government.

"The safety of our guests, acts and staff is of upmost importance to us."

All three events were due to take place throughout April.

Ticket holders will be able to transfer their tickets to the new date.
