Leyland's annual Music in the Park event has been axed amid a surge in the prices charged by artists on the concert circuit - and no sign of the festival breaking even anytime soon.

South Ribble Borough Council has staged the retro-themed concert in Worden Park every year since 2022 - but it will not be returning, a meeting of the local authority heard.
The show focused largely on acts who were at the peak of their pop powers in the 80s and 90s - including Bananarama, Nik Kershaw, Go West, B*Witched and Peter Andre.
