A Hertfordshire music festival is set to return this summer following the government's roadmap announcement this week.

Goatfest is back on this summer after organisers announced the event "is officially back on".

The news came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a four-step plan as a route out of lockdown.

The family festival is set to take place in Codicote near Hitchin over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Goatfest was cancelled last year but will return to its site off Bury Lane for three days of live music and award-winning street food from Friday, August 27 to Sunday, August 29, 2021.

Rowan Patel and the Goatfest team confirmed the news on the festival's social media pages.

A statement posted on the Goatfest Facebook and Instagram pages read: "GOATFEST is GO.

"We are immensely excited to tell you all that GOATFEST 2021 is officially back on!
