The organisers of the Smoked & Uncut festivals have announced that they will be taking a break and not hosting events in 2024.
The open-air festivals were held at various hotels around Hampshire, Kent and Somerset with it mainly being at The Pig hotels and the Lime Wood Hotel in Lyndhurst.
In 2023, the festival celebrated 10 years, with it being a way to celebrate great food and music.
However, fans of these festivals will not be able to enjoy the party atmosphere this year as they will be taking a break.
Smoked & Uncut Festival to not return in 2024
In a statement, the organisers said: "Last year we celebrated 10 years of Smoked & Uncut – a decade of outdoor parties that we will never forget – and after marking that milestone we have decided to push pause for 2024.
"It’s been one hell of a ride, but we felt that now was the right time to take a moment to remember and reflect before dancing our way into another decade!
"It is difficult to imagine a year without all the festi-feels - we will all really miss those wild weekends with you this summer, but we do hope you can understand.
"As you will know we run the festivals alongside the day-to-day runnings of THE PIGs and Lime Wood – so although we have decided to take a break for Smoked & Uncut as you know it, there will be loads of opportunities for a knees up or two with our teams throughout the summer.
"So, keep your eyes peeled and make sure you are signed up to THE PIGs and Lime Wood for all their latest updates…as we know there are a few exciting things in the pipeline!"

It has not been stated yet by the organisers if Smoked & Uncut will return in 2025.
The organisers added: "Finally, a big thanks from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Smoked & Uncut, what started out as a guy and a guitar in a field became a series of full blown festivals – something we could have never imagined when we started out.
"Without you all it would never have been possible – so thank you, we can’t wait to get going again!"
