People living near an estate have complained they were without water pressure during the time that a major festival took place. 

Bear Grylls' Gone Wild Festival happened for the first time at Holkham Hall Estate this year between August 8 and August 11 and welcomed more than 9,000 people to the region.

The festival aims to encourage families to experience the outdoors and offers live music, camping and obstacle courses.

Those living near the estate have said they experienced low water pressure during the time of the festival among other issues.

One said: "It's been absolute hell.

"Our water pressure was reduced to no more than a dribble on the second day.

"And above that, we had the noise from the machinery in the build up to the festival, and I was appalled by the loudness of the music from 10 in the morning to 11 at night.

"Don't get me wrong, the festival looked exemplary, but my opinion is that it shouldn't have happened at the location and the time of year that it did when this region is already overwhelmed by holidaymakers and tourists."

Complaints about an impact on utilities were as widespread as Burnham Norton, where Barry Cheeseman said he had been without power since 8.20am Monday morning.

"I don't know whether its related or not but what I do know is that the infrastructure in this area just can't cope with such an influx of people."

A spokesman from Holkham Estate said: "We have not been made aware of any issues related to water pressure from our tenants or anyone living in the area.

"However, we welcome feedback on any issues that have arisen while the festival took place so that we can work to resolve them for future events.”

Anglian Water said: "The pressures in the area on the August 8 and 9 were normal, and we haven't received any reports of low pressures.

"However, if customers are experiencing low pressures they can report it to us on our website."

Bear Grylls said in a press release that this year's event was a major success and will be returning in 2025.
