Aldborough and Boroughbridge Show cancelled for second year
The show committee says it took the decision with a 'heavy heart' and would consider staging a virtual event or something else later in the year.
Aldborough and Boroughbridge Show.
Aldborough and Boroughbridge Agricultural Show has become the latest major event in the Harrogate district to fall victim to covid this year.
This year's show, which would have been the 107th, was due to take place on July 25 at Newby Hall.
The event includes animal judging as well as craft tents and stallholders selling food and drink.
This is the second year the show has been cancelled due to covid.
The show committee announced the decision on Facebook. It said:
"It is with an exceptionally heavy heart that the committee have decided to cancel the show this year.
"This has not been a decision that has been taken lightly and all considerations and options have been considered.
"We are still discussing the possibility of a virtual event or perhaps something later in the year, however at this time I can confirm that our full show will not be going ahead on July 25.
"We will confirm next year's date shortly and we really do hope that that show will be our best one yet."
The event follows the likes of Ripley Show and Masham Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally in being cancelled for a second year running.
