Beadnell show celebrating horticultural and baking failures is cancelled

After a 10-year absence, it had been planned to hold the event on Sunday, August 13.

The event awards points for the worst produce, where weeds win cups and failures are celebrated. Previous categories included the heaviest sponge cake, smallest carrot and the most mis-shapen vegetable.

However, organisers have decided not to go ahead due to a lack of capacity and interest at what is the busiest time of year for many.
