Several people were injured, with some reportedly carried out on stretchers, after chaotic scenes broke out at a family-friendly festival in London when overcrowding led to what witnesses described as a "stampede". The incident has raised concerns about crowd safety management at popular public events, particularly those marketed as suitable for families with young children.

Attendees said "too many people" turned up to the event, overwhelming capacity and triggering panic among the crowd. Details on the exact venue, organiser and number of casualties remain limited, though eyewitness accounts point to a frightening and chaotic scene as people tried to escape the crush.
