2021 Caithness County Show Cancelled

18th March 2021

A statement has been issued by the Caithness Agricultural society who run the Caithness Show.

It is with deep regret and huge disappointment that we confirm the cancellation of the 2021 Show.

After much consideration, the management committee feel there is no option but to propose to cancel the 2021 show.

Preparations for our event under normal circumstances start way back in November and run right up to the show itself in July.​

This involves the investment of many man hours and many thousands of pounds, which is not recoverable unless a successful show takes place.

Under the current situation with a total lack of any degree of certainty that the government or local councils would permit this event to take place, or that the public themselves would feel safe in attending we have decided that it would be irresponsible of us to risk losing the society's money when with circumstances beyond our control, the whole thing could end up being cancelled.​
