Organisers of the Beautiful Days festival are warning people not to fall for scams after tickets for this year's event quickly sold out.

Beautiful Days 2021 is due to take place at Escot from Friday, August 20 until Sunday 22, and announced the line-up last Friday, although a theme is yet to be revealed.

A recent post by the festival's organisers on social media said: "We're sorry if you've missed out on tickets for Beautiful Days 2021, but we strongly advise you do not buy tickets from unofficial sources – particularly via social networks.

"Sadly not all posts and offers of tickets are genuine and we don't want people to fall victim to ticket scams.

"We have teamed up again with Twickets a fan-to-fan ticket resale platform where the price of tickets is never more than the original face value.

"There are no e-tickets, they are all physical tickets for Beautiful Days and they will be posted out towards the end of July."
