The entire 2026 UK Heritage Live series has been called off. Events planned for the Englefield Estate, Audley End Estate and Sandringham Estate venues have been cancelled.
The programme had included Christina Aguilera, Eric Clapton, Lionel Richie, Janet Jackson, Scissor Sisters, Faithless and other well-known artists.
According to organisers, ticket sales fell short of the level required, while artist, technical and operating costs rose. An investment agreement intended to save the event fell through at the last minute.
Summary
Weak ticket sales, rising costs and a collapsed investment deal made continuing impossible.
