Cardigan County Agricultural Show has been cancelled due to extreme weather that has been forecast, organisers have confirmed.
The Welsh show was supposed to take place on Saturday (August 5).
In a statement posted online, the Cardigan Show chief stewards said:
“After much deliberation it is with a heavy heart that the chief stewards have made the heartbreaking decision to cancel the show on Saturday due to the forecasted winds of up to 49mph.”
The Met Office has put a Status Yellow wind warning in place for parts of Wales this weekend, including Cardiff; Swansea; Aberystwyth; Carmarthen; Monmouth; and St. David’s.
This implies there will be “unseasonably windy weather”, likely to cause disruption to travel and outdoor activities.
“We appreciate this decision has consequences, however the health and safety of our exhibitors and visitors is our priority,” the chief stewards added.
“We will be refunding all trade stands, sponsors and livestock exhibitors. Please bear with us as we process this.”
The show would have included cattle; sheep; horse; hunter; rabbit; goat; pig; and dog classes.
It was also set to have sheepdog trials, a shearing competition, a young handler’s competition, a vintage parade and more.
The show also offers activities for all, including cookery demonstrations, trade stands and evening entertainment.
