This year's Shobdon Food & Flying Festival has been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Organisers said following lengthy discussions they would not be able to hold this year's event due to COVID-19.

A spokesperson said: "We feel that with the government not planning to have all adults vaccinated against COVID-19 until September at the earliest, there is no way we can safely host a large gathering of people in the summer, even if some restrictions are lifted by then. We are desperately sorry as we are very keen to get back to supporting local producers and giving people the lift we all need."
