A giant cheeseboard event has been inundated with complaints after customers claimed they spent £30 on tickets only to find the organisers had run out of cheese.

The non-refundable celebration of cheese, organised by The Giant Cheeseboard on Saturday, was to take people aged 18 and over to "cheesy heaven", according to their Facebook page.

Organisers promised revelers "unlimited cheese, mulled wine and fun" and likened the event to "being able to walk around a giant cheese board". There was even supposed to be a giant fireplace to "snuggle by".

However the event, which had previously featured in a national magazine, was harangued on Twitter, where people complained that it was "overpriced and disappointing."

Some claimed that organisers were refusing to refund their tickets and were deleting reviews.

Sarah Hennessey tweeted that she paid £37 and "didn't even get any cheese!"
