It was due to take place at various venues in the town from May 14 to 16.

"This was both a difficult decision and a very simple one - with the coronavirus epidemic escalating, our first priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of our festival participants, artists, audiences, partners and staff," said organiser and artist Kane Cunningham.
