Hinderwell Horse & Agricultural Show cancelled after prolonged rain soaks show field

The announcement was made on the show Facebook page last night (August 3)

The message read: “Unfortunately, following a site meeting, the Hinderwell Show Committee have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this year’s show, which was due to take place this coming Friday, August 4.

“The prolonged period of bad weather means that the show fields are now too wet to safely hold the show.

“We will be in touch with everyone who has entered to arrange refunds over the next few days but please bear with us as we are only a small committee and we are sure you will appreciate that there are a lot of issues to deal with.

“Thank you to everyone for all your support and entries. We hope you will be able to join us next year!”

Swift arrangements have been made to ensure that the children’s show will still go ahead on Friday in Hinderwell Village Hall.
