From BBC News; Beverley Folk Festival, a non-profit-making organisation run by volunteers, said it had lost its "primary source of funding".

Beverley Racecourse said it had supported the festival but had not been paid for hosting the 2017 festival so it was among the creditors.

Chris Wade, who helped found the festival but has not been involved in it in recent years, said: "It's like a part of my family it's very sad to have lost it."
