Glastonbury Festival legend and pub landlord Malcolm Haynes has won the right to hold up to 40 open-air events at a community space despite neighbours’ objections.
Residents in Montpelier, including Aardman Animations’ co-founder, fear the Star & Garter owner’s plans will have a “devastating” impact on hundreds of lives by turning the adjoining Albany Green into a “beer garden” and a summer-long “pop festival”.
But Haynes said he intended to hold free, community events and it wasn’t the case he wanted to hold pop festivals.
