2020 Show Cancelled

Dear all,

It is with great sadness that we have been told to cancel this years show planned for 19th/20th September. Up to 10 day ago everything was ok to go ahead, then things changed Fylde Borough Council could not make a decision about our events license so it was referred to Lancashire County Council who then referred it to the Government, who advised Fylde Council to not give us an event licence for the following reasons:-

1. Our proximity to Preston where there are pockets of Corona virus.

2. The police were concerned about traffic on the B roads around the area because we could be the only show at that time, in other words the show would be a victim of its own success.

We did make the point that Blackpool pleasure beach was open with 10,000 people attending each weekend and their reply was that they were further away from Preston and it was a different Council. If we were to go ahead without their approval we would be liable for legal proceedings. Lots of hard work has already been done behind the scenes for this years show and all it has done is to make us much more determined to make next years show the best ever.

Please keep watching the site for further updates and events.

Best wishes and thank you for your support from David Martin and the team at Fylde Vintage Steam and Farm Show.
