Hi everyone, itβs Scott here.
After a lot of thought and careful consideration, Iβve made the decision to cancel Paisley Alive this year.
Despite strong early support and conversations with many of you across Renfrewshire, ticket sales havenβt reached the level required for us to deliver the event to the standard intended. Alongside this, rising infrastructure and production costs have made it impossible to move forward in a way that meets that standard.
A significant amount of work has gone into developing Paisley Alive over the past two years, built on a genuine belief in what it could become. The intention was always to create something positive for the town - something new, and something the community could be proud of.
Being a local guy born in Paisley, I know many of you were looking forward to it, and Iβm sorry to disappoint. To everyone who supported the idea and bought tickets early, thank you.
Refunds will be processed automatically and you will receive an email to confirm when your refund has been processed. Funds will clear back to the card/account used for original purchase and may take between 3-5 working days to clear. For any enquiries, please contact Skiddle.
Iβm incredibly proud of what we set out to build, and grateful for the support, encouragement, and belief shown by the community along the way.
Thank you,
Scott McFarlane
