AN AWARD-winning Mid Wales show has become the latest victim of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic by announcing the cancellation of its 2021 event.
Wonderwool Wales, which was judged best event in Mid Wales at the inaugural Mid Wales Tourism Awards in 2019, announced on Wednesday that its two-day event – due to be held on April 24 and 25 at the Royal Welsh Showground near Builth Wells – would not be going ahead and instead be postponed for a second successive year. It will be rescheduled for 2022.
The event, which celebrates all that’s great about wool and natural fibres, had already made cuts to its original plans in a bid to adhere to strict Covid-19 sanctions – but after Royal Welsh Show organisers announced on Wednesday that the iconic agricultural festival would not go ahead this July, it is not surprising that an event held at the same venue earlier in the year has followed suit.
