Mid-Lent fair cancelled due to covid
Last year's fair was also cancelled because of the pandemic
For the second year running the Mid-Lent fair in Stamford has been cancelled due to covid-19.
The fair was due in Stamford from Monday 15 March to Saturday 20 March, and in Grantham from Sunday 21 March to Wednesday 24 March.
It's been cancelled as part of efforts to combat the spread of the Coronavirus.
SKDC’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Visitor Economy, Cllr Rosemary Trollope-Bellew, said:
“SKDC and the Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain, which organises the events, have jointly taken the decision to cancel both this year’s Mid-Lent fairs as, under the current circumstances, the safety of all our residents must come first.”
