Upcoming events at Newark Showground have been cancelled after the recent spike in coronavirus cases in the area.
Public health officials made the decision alongside the showground and Newark and Sherwood District Council on Wednesday.
The Antiques Fair will go ahead as planned on Thursday, August 13 for traders, but will not be open to the public.
The Newark International Antiques and Collectors Fair and the Normous Newark Autojumble, scheduled for this weekend, have been cancelled.
The decision comes after a Bakkavor factory in Newark confirmed an outbreak of COVID-19 in which around 50 people tested positive.
