Given the current economic climage, proceeding amidst such uncertainty and volatile costs would be thoughtless, expecially for a full independent festival like ours. The challenges faced in 2023 provided a stark indication of the difficulties
"Despite the setback, our commitment to keeping EITP alive remains dedicated. We recognise the joy it brings to so many and we are determined to continue our efforts in Buxton which is on track for another sellout."
