A popular food and drink festival in Hereford city centre has been cancelled.

The Hereford Indie Food Festival was due to take place this August but has been cancelled due to a hike in rents.

A number of local independent businesses including The Den have been forced to move to other properties in the city due a price increase by their landlords.

The event which is organised by Rule of Tum saw more than 8,000 people attend the three-day festival in Aubrey Street last year.

Sunshine Radio have approached the landlords for comment.
