Those involved in organising the show have said that due to the uncertainty over the coming months, reinforced by the latest government guidelines, it would not be possible to organise the 2021 event safely.

Instead, volunteers at the Suffolk Agricultural Society say they plan to organise a series of smaller events during 2021, such as equine and livestock shows.
