The upcoming March 2020 edition of Harrogate International Nursery Fair will now take place in June.

The trade show’s organisers have been closely following government guidelines and advice relating to the coronavirus epidemic. Together with key stakeholders, the decision has been made that it is not in the best interests of participants for the event to go ahead.

The new show date for Harrogate International Nursery Fair is 14-16 June 2020.

“The seriousness of coronavirus is unprecedented,” says managing director, Robert Anslow. “We believe that the risks associated with going ahead with the show are too great. We are concerned with the health and well-being of everyone involved and will, therefore, postpone the event until June.”

Also commenting is show organiser, Adrian Sneyd. “Obviously postponing Harrogate has been a major decision. However, we have fortunately managed to secure a space at the Harrogate Convention Centre for the show to move to June. We hope that by this time the epidemic will be under control and business will once again be able to continue as usual.”

The show in June will replicate the planned March event, which was due to take place on 29-31 March. This includes the event’s Party Night. Please refer to the show’s website for further updates and news.
