It joins a string of other events in the Cornish calendar that have been cancelled for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Under the government's current plans for the 'roadmap' out of lockdown, 30 people could be able to meet up outside from the 17th of May, with a limit on social contact hopefully being lifted on June 21st.
