"We're delighted to be teaming up with LOVE CORN," said the festival's founder. "They're an exciting company that shares our passion for quality and taste. We're thrilled to have them on board, and we're excited to see what they have in store for us."

A spokesperson for the event added: "We understand that things are more expensive these days, and we don't want that to impact our customers' experience.

“We want to keep doing what we love for years to come, and we know that our customers will look after us if we look after them. That's why we've decided to include a free drink with the ticket price for 2023."
