Organisers say they are looking at how they can continue to deliver community events and are looking at options for next year. 

A statement shared to the Didcot Pride Facebook page said: "It is with much sadness and regret that we must announce that Didcot Pride Festival will not be going ahead at Boundary Park this year.

"Unfortunately the small amount of anti-social behaviour we experienced during Bands on the Boundary, means we need to look again at how we can continue to deliver these free community events, whilst being able to control those who can’t follow basic rules like not bringing their own drinks onto site and that feel it is acceptable to abuse staff and vandalise property."

Bands on the Boundary was a free event which took place at Boundary Park from June 28 to 30.

The statement continued: "However we are looking at options for next year and will announce plans as soon as we can.

"We realise this is not ideal and lots of people were looking forward to it.

"Unfortunately we don’t feel we can deliver a safe event at present."
