The Field Day, Apple Cart and Underage Festivals are having to change their dates next year because of the 2012 Olympics.

The events - which normally take place at Victoria Park over three days in August - are being moved to the start of June because of the Games in Stratford.

The Olympic Games take place July 27 - August 12 with the Paralympic Games on August 29 - September 9.

It has been previously reported that one reason Glastonbury is taking a year off next year may be because all the portable toilets will be at the international event instead.
