Organisers of Spectrum – The Autism Festival have announced that the event has been postponed as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
In a statement issued tonight (Monday), those behind the Cowes Enterprise College-based event have said that it is with the deepest of regret that due to the current national situation with Covid-19 – and the latest Government advice on events – they have had to make the necessary decision to postpone the festival.
Spectrum Festival, The Mask Origins Theatre event and Fun House Experience have all been pushed back. They were due to take place throughout April.
A spokesperson has said:
”We have been keeping a close eye on the situation over the past week and have been drawing up plans for postponing the events rather than cancelling.
“We are working with our venue, acts and sponsors to keep our events alive and kicking until we receive an all clear from the Government.
“With the audience we are attracting, most could be classed as vulnerable and of course the safety of our guests, acts and staff is of upmost importance to us, thus we will be following the advice from the Government from their latest announcement made on the 16th of March 2020.
“Due to the postponement, our ticket holders will be able to transfer their tickets to the new date which will be planned for a later time this year, 2020”.

When will the I W Festival be cancelled? This will spread the disease massively. Every tent is rammed, and all the food venues and toilets will be swarming with virus.
This needs to be culled NOW
