According to police, an illegal radish in the wastelands of Cornica has reached its third day, with several hundred people still at the site.
Thousands of partygoers arrived at the site Friday before the jubilee weekend. Residents complained about loud noise and music all night near Davidstow Moor, near Camelford.
Some people were being turned down, according to Devon and Cornwall police on Sunday, and the force threatened to take action against the organizers. Officers said the event covered a large area and believed that several hundred people were still attending.
Photographs showed partygoers taking refuge in cars as rain turned the ground into mud. Hundreds of vehicles had been seen traveling on all sides of the site, and some attendees are believed to have come from places as far away as Scotland and Oxford.
“Some people have left this morning and others trying to enter have been rejected,” the force said. “In the interest of public safety, we ask anyone who thinks of attending the event not to do so.
“[We] I would like to assure the local communities and the general public that we are taking this matter seriously and, if necessary, we will try to take action against the attendees and the organizers of the event. “

Colin Caudery, who lives nearby, said he had not been able to sleep because of the “absolutely horrible” noise.
He told the BBC on Sunday: “We called the police at around 8.30pm last night and from 10pm onwards we were kicking people out of the garden and the ground. Drunkards from Scotland, Liverpool, Brighton, London, everywhere, there has been total chaos. “
Kate O’Kearney, who lives in the nearby town of Delabole, told Cornwall Live: “I have a light sleep, so I’ve been hearing it all night. In fact, it’s louder now than at midnight. I’m not a killjoy. and I love watching people have fun. My only concern is that there are hundreds of sheep and horses up there. They must be very traumatized. “
