Digital festival goes online only

Leeds Digital Festival, the UK's largest tech festival, is hosting its spring event online.

Organisers have postponed holding a physical festival until the autumn: "However! We're a digital festival and we still need to support each other, still need to learn, still need to show off the amazing people, companies and innovation we have in the city and the wider region," a statement said.

"After last night’s Government press conference, we’ve now decided that the best and safest course of action is to postpone a physical Festival until the autumn; we’ll see how the next few weeks develop before we announce a date."
