Organisers have confirmed next year's Shobdon Food and Flying Festival will not take place.

In a statement, organisers said there was uncertainty over coronavirus: "We know it's early to make that call, but, as organisers, we have to put the safety of our volunteers, exhibitors and visitors ahead of everything else. Also, as a predominantly community led fundraising event which is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, we are not in a position to cope with another late cancellation."

"To have to do so again would threaten the very future of the festival which is a risk we are not prepared to take.

"On a much more positive note, we are delighted to confirm that we intend to hold a festival in the summer of 2023 and will start planning it soon."

The 2023 festival is planned to take place on July 1 and 2 at Shobdon Airfield.
