Charlotte Church has issued a statement announcing she is pulling out of the Hay Festival while taking aim at the festival’s ‘hypocrisy’ of receiving sponsorship from an investment management company with links to Israel and the fossil fuel industry.

The singer was due to appear in a talk with author Mary Loudon but has now withdrawn from the festival ‘in solidarity with the people of Palestine and in protest of the artwashing and greenwashing that is apparent in this sponsorship.’

The Hay Festival runs from 23 May – 2 June.
