Boston Spa Festival is Covid revised

Organisers of Boston Spa Festival have announced that the extension of Covid restrictions until the end of July has significantly affected several events planned for this week.

But they have reassured that the three-day event will go ahead.

A spokesman said: “In common with many other events, we are constrained by insurance cover and government guidelines.

“We will add other events if the controls are relaxed and the local groups can respond.”

The fifth scarecrow trail will go ahead as planned in Boston Spa, Thorp Arch and Clifford, from Monday July 3-11. The theme is super heroes or Disney characters.

On Saturday July 10 events to go ahead are: Starting from Church Fields at 7.30am, to go 100 miles around the county.
