SWEETCORN fayre organisers have announced their event will not go ahead this year ­— though the team are already looking to 2022.

The ever-popular annual event was set to return to Arreton Barns in September, providing everything from live music and children's entertainment to snail racing and sweetcorn speed eating.

Bob the Cob, Connie Corn and Nora Niblet were all scheduled to attend, promising a fun-packed family day out.

"It is with regret that we inform you the Sweetcorn Fayre has been cancelled this year," said a spokesperson for the event.

"We feel we wouldn't be able to bring you the Sweetcorn Fayre you know and love, and that it isn't the right time to hold this event - but we are planning for 2022.

"Thank you for your understanding."
