Festival of Brexit is a £120m Woke flop

It was meant to be a patriotic celebration of what Britain could look like after leaving the EU.

But despite being supported with £120 million in public funds, the so-called Festival of Brexit has fallen woefully short of hitting a target to attract 66 million visitors. Only 238,000 people have turned up so far.

The figures emerged yesterday as the event’s organisers were accused of using it to push “woke” causes, such as gender fluidity and “how imperialism shaped the British garden”.
