The Big Event 3 & 4 July is postponed until 2021
A statement from the organiser; " Following the latest Government announcement extending lock down measures we’ve taken the difficult decision to cancel The Big Event due to take place at the NEC on the 3 & 4 July 2020. All our regional One Big Day events are also cancelled.
As always, the safety of all event visitors is our number one priority. With some degree of social distancing potentially remaining with us for the next few months, we believe cancelling the events for 2020 is the right thing to do.
We understand this is disappointing news and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
