THIS year's Shake and Stir Festival scheduled for June has been postponed confirmed organiser, Mandy Polkey.

She said: "With the ongoing uncertainty, restrictions on gatherings, general government advice and with the safety of all festival goers the number one priority, we felt we had no alternative.

"We very much hope the festival can go ahead on September 5th and 6th and we are now working towards that."

Mandy added: "We have also pencilled in the weekend of June 26th and 27th next year for the festival in Fisherman’s Walk.

"The priority for everyone at the moment is for our communities to stay safe and well and I look forward to working with everyone again when we are through the worst of the Coronavirus outbreak and begin to return to normal."
