The popular event, which was due to take place on Sunday, May 31, has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak and Government advice on social distancing.

Bosses hope the show can be rescheduled for later in the year, if Government regulations permit.

Councillor Ian Kettle, Dudley Council's cabinet member responsible for halls, said: "The country fair event is a fun family event and although it is regrettable we can’t go ahead in May, we currently have to be advised by Government as to what and when we can organise.

"The foremost focus at the moment is making sure that residents remain safe and we stop the spread of Covid-19 by staying at home to protect ourselves, the NHS and save the lives of as many people as we can."
