Kington Show cancelled for 2021

This year's Kington Show has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The popular farming show was due to take place on Saturday 11th September.

Organisers have now confirmed the show has been cancelled following the increase in COVID-19 cases and a delay to the UK Government roadmap.

In a statement, organisers said: "We were hopeful that the government roadmap would mean life returning to normal from the 21st June."

"Unfortunately, as we are all aware this date has been delayed due to the significantly increasing numbers in cases and hospitalisations. In addition, there is still no clear indication of what measures large events will have to take to create a safe environment for all involved."

"Given the current uncertainty, cancellation is the only option that will both safeguard the financial security of the show going forward and protect the health and safety of all involved."
