Taking to Facebook, they issued the following statement:
“Beyond The Valley is a wholly inclusive festival. We welcome every colour, race, creed and persuasion. We celebrate all cultures in equal measure.
As seen in the launch video we have drawn inspiration from a variety of mythological creatures and ancient cultures to help support the festival’s strong focus on freedom – a contrast to the arguably repressive norms of modern societies.
Our artwork reflects a love of global traditions and is in no way intended to challenge or offend and we sincerely apologise to those who have perceived our artwork and branding as offensive.”
