'I spent £1000 to attend Leeds Festival, but an accident within hours of arriving, cut my weekend short'

Within hours of arriving at the Bramham Park festival Georgia had an accident which prematurely ended her festival experience.

“It’s been a nightmare,” said Georgia’s mother Becky Joyce.

Becky said that her daughter had spent “ages” packing and preparing.

She said: “She was so excited to have a bit on independence and celebrate finishing college.”

Georgia and her friends arrived at the festival on friday night which took two hours from their home on the other side of Leeds.

Georgia arrived at 4pm on the friday afternoon but by the early hours of saturday morning Becky had received a call.

“Georgia called me crying. She had tripped over some rubbish, and hurt her foot and ankle.

“I got her to show me on FaceTime and her foot and ankle were bruised and swollen. She couldn’t move them.

“Georgia told me a member of staff told her to go back to her tent at 3am and wait till someone comes on site at 11am to X-Ray her.”

Becky knew something was seriously wrong so she drove to Bramham Park and managed to get Georgia .

“By 6am we were at A & E. They confirmed she had broken her ankle and wrist so I’m so glad I persuaded them to let me on site to pick her up.”

While Georgia recovers at home, Becky has been attempting to contact the festival.

She added: “I’ve called and emailed, and tried to get on site a number of times to collect Georgia’s stuff including her medication.

“I’ve not yet been allowed in so I keep trying this has been a nightmare.”

The Yorkshire Post has contacted Leeds Festival for a comment.
