Organisers of the annual Hereford Food Festival have confirmed the event will return next year.

This year's event which was due to take place in July was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

In a statement, Festival Director Sophie Sherief said: "This was not something I wanted to do and was not an easy decision to make. But following the new government measures announced this week regarding mass gatherings, the cancellation of other local events, large and small, and the sheer speed at which developments are being made - I feel I am left with no choice."

"I would like to send my sincere thank you, and apologies to all the incredible food and drink suppliers who have booked to join us for 2020. You will all receive an email from me imminently with your options on refunded pitch fees, or transfers to 2021".

The annual festival attracts several thousands of people each year to Hereford Racecourse.
