A five-year-old girl who hit the headlines after her homemade lemonade stand was shut down by the council has received dozens of offers to set up stalls at other events.

Council officials shut down the stall selling refreshments to people heading to the Lovebox music festival although Tower Hamlets council later cancelled their fine and apologised.

The girl's family said dozens of festivals, markets and businesses have now offered them the opportunity to set up a lemonade stand.

The girl was initially fined £150 for setting up a lemonade stall near their home to sell refreshments to people heading to the festival in Victoria Park, east London, last weekend. Though the fine has been dropped, the council said it does not mean the children of Tower Hamlets can set up lemonade stands at will.
