Following yesterday’s government announcement it is with a very heavy heart that The Olney Group (TOG) have decided to cancel our plans to hold Riverfest on the recreation ground over the weekend of 3rd and 4th July.  With the increase in the Delta variant and the fact that it would have been an unticketed event at a public location which has recently been overwhelmed with large numbers of visitors we feel canno tguarantee to be able to comply with the extended COVID regulations. We therefore had little choice but to cancel and thank you for your understanding.
