The incredibly popular Dorset Knob Throwing and Frome Valley Food Festival won't be going ahead this year.

Issues with the organising committee, management team and getting the famous Knob biscuits for the event have meant that the 2022 festival will not be going ahead.

A spokesman for the Dorset Knob Throwing Committee said: "It is with great sadness that the Dorset Knob Throwing and Frome Valley Food Festival is unable to go ahead on May 1, 2022.

"We had over 8,000 people attend the 2019 event, meaning it has reached such a size that it simply cannot be run by a small village committee. We've looked at various options but sadly couldn't make any of them work for this year for many reasons.

"We also sadly lost the support of our event management team late in 2021 and agreements with Moores biscuits to provide the biscuits for the event's games also took much longer than anticipated.

"We hope the event can return in years to come."
