“There were multiple reasons why this package was classed suspicious and we followed our sight safety protocol.”

The venue had earlier today said it would be closed ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’ and advised people that tickets would be refunded.

The farm posted on Facebook that the package ‘was set up to disrupt our normal daily operation’.

“We are glad we have the go ahead from the police and CSI investigation team,” the post added.

“We look forward to seeing you all again.”
