Shropshire Horticultural Society has cancelled this year’s show, which was due to take place in the first week of August, saying it was struggling ‘to put on a show that was financially viable’.
The decision means thousands of visitors will now not be heading to Shrewsbury for the two-day event, with a potential knock-on impact for businesses across the town.
Shropshire Chamber chief executive Ruth Ross has voiced her sadness at the development - but has come up with a suggestion to celebrate the best the county has to offer.
