What happened this afternoon?

Hi. I was working making modelling balloons at the Abbefield Muclitcilutural Festival in Pistmoor this afternoon when we were told to leave the park by organisers at about 3.00pm. I guess it took a while to clear the park as there was a great atmosphere and loads of people in there this year. Not sure what was going on - I heard from someone outside that the rest of the event was cancelled due to a suspicious package being found... Does anyone know any more at this stage?

The festival ended after the alert to leave the park. I went back later to pack up a stall. Apparently a 'suspicious package' had been found. I was told that the police saw the threat as one against Muslims. If true it was a threat to everyone there today.
