Festival organisers looking for help as firm pulls out

ORGANISERS of a massive river festival in St Ives have applied for a local kitchen builder or supplier to come forward to help with the event after a DIY firm pulled out.

Focus was to have supplied the Inland Waterways Association (IWA) with kitchen units for a cooking event during the three-day festival over August Bank Holiday but has withdrawn its offer.

Gillian Bolt, from the IWA, said it now hoped another local kitchen supplier or builder would be able to fill the gap.

"We need someone who could provide us with enough to build two workstations and some storage for the chefs to keep their equipment in," Mrs Bolt said.

She said ex-display cabinets would be ideal if a local supplier was changing the stock it had on show.

Mr Bolt said, in exchange for the use of the cabinets, the supplier would be able to have a banner and display at the show.
