BEAMINSTER Festival has been cancelled for the second year in a row.
The event, which usually takes place in June, has been called off due to the uncertainties surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions.
This is the second year the festival has been cancelled due to the pandemic, and the event's organisers hope they can arrange a 'grand' festival in 2022.
A spokesman for the Beaminster Festival Committee and Trustees said: "It is with great regret that we must announce that this year's Beaminster Festival planned for June will not take place and that this will be another year of enforced absence. The safety of all our supporters, friends and volunteers is paramount and with the uncertainties of Covid still with us, the trustees reluctantly decided that it would be unwise to continue with the festival as planned.
