CANCELLED - Thriplow Daffodil Weekend 2021

Due to the continuing situation with Covid-19, the Daffodil Weekend Committee, along with other major groups within the community, have agreed that it will not be possible to safely hold the 2021 event whilst still meeting the primary goal of raising funds for charity. Obviously, this is a huge disappointment to everyone involved.

Our first duty is to keep our visitors and volunteers safe. Although Daffodil Weekend is seen mainly as an outdoor event, there are many areas where close proximity indoors occurs, such as in the tearooms, craft marquees, church, beer tent, minibuses and coaches, increasing further risks of transmission of the virus to our visitors.

Daffodil Weekend is a charity fundraising event staffed entirely by volunteers. There are large costs associated with staging the event which we start to incur from early autumn. The social distancing measures, which we are inevitably going to have to enforce, would mean the weekend would make significant losses.

Further plantings of daffodils will take place this autumn ready for when we can fully resume the event. The daffodils will, of course, still be there to be enjoyed.

2021 would have been the 52nd Weekend. This is the first time in its history that the event has been cancelled two years in a row. Here’s to looking forward to DW 2022.

Thank you for your continuing support during these difficult times. Daffodil Weekend will be back and will be better than ever!

Take care and best wishes.

The Daffodil Weekend Committee
