    They said: "It is with regret that we have no other option but to cancel the Poultry and Egg section for this year’s show due to the current ban on gatherings of poultry and waterfowl.

    "This ban has been put in place by DEFRA/APHA and is due to continued outbreaks of Avian Influenza in the UK.

    "Hopefully the Poultry will be back in 2023!"

    There will be a huge variety of other sections for visitors to enjoy, including cattle, horses, goats, rabbits, horticulture and handicraft.
