NANTWICH SHOW AND INTERNATIONAL CHEESE AWARDS CANCELLED FOR A SECOND YEAR - DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC

IN A statement issued on April 2, Michael-John Parkin, the Chairman of the Nantwich Agricultural Society, said: ‘’Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we have taken the sad but sensible decision to cancel The Nantwich Show and International Cheese Awards on July 29.

"As this national crisis escalates day by day, we feel we cannot safely run the show in 2020. We are extremely sorry to have to announce this news and appreciate that this will disappoint everyone who loves the show as much as we do.

"The Nantwich Show began in 1897 and has grown to become the biggest one-day agricultural show and host to the world’s largest cheese awards.

"The show is the main event for our charity, Nantwich Agricultural Society, and also brings thousands of pounds to the local economy of Nantwich and surrounding area. We hope the public will continue to support us in 2021."
