NEXT year's Tiverton Balloon and Music Festival has been cancelled, organisers have announced.

This year's event in July attracted the crowds with some great live music and a plethora of colourful hot air balloons.

But the company who organises the event, Aerosaurus, say they no longer have the time or resources to stage the 2016 event.

The event has helped raise more than £40,000 for charity over the last five years and attracted thousands of visitors from all over the country.
