Organisers of the annual Tockwith Show have delayed their final decision on whether the show will go ahead despite support from volunteers.
Organisers of the annual Tockwith Show have delayed their final decision on whether the show will go ahead - despite receiving support from a number of volunteers. Last week the Chair of the Tockwith Show committee warned that a lack of volunteers could put the show's future in doubt, but, following the appeal, 20 people have offered their help. However, although the Committee welcomed that new support, they have decided that more information is required about what lies ahead before making a firm commitment to hold the show this year.

“I am so heartened to know that so many people in our community clearly care about the show and appreciate how important it is to the heritage of this region. “We are all hoping that by August things will be getting back to some sort of normality, but we need to recognise that many people – even after having both their vaccinations – may feel cautious about attending an event with thousands of others, and it’s important that we build into the planning of the show that element of security. “That’s why we need more information and guidance before making any final decision about this year, and of course we all need to accept that whatever is decided could well be overtaken by what happens with the pandemic during the next few months.”Last year’s show – which would have been the 75th to be held - was cancelled because of the impact of Covid, only the second time it has not taken place since the original event was held in 1945.
