Drink ban at Exeter Respect festival

This year's Exeter Respect festival will be an alcohol-free event.

The two-day celebration of diversity takes place on May 31st and June 1st in Belmont park, featuring live entertainment, workshops and stalls.

This year the organisers have decided not to have a bar at the event, and while visitors can visit nearby pubs, they won't be allowed to bring drink on to the site.

The organisers say they want to make it a more family-friendly event and that there will be more young people there this year.
