LEADERS across Romsey have reacted to Beggars Fair being cancelled for the second time amid coronavirus fears. The summer event was scheduled to happen on July 10, but was called off on Tuesday night in a committee Zoom meeting. Community leaders were disappointed the festival has been scrapped for this year, but believe it is the right call. Borough and town councillor Nik Daas said: "Beggars Fair is a regional event that attracts so many people from different parts of the south. "To have that movement of people in the summer is too close to the current situation we are in now and, at the end of the day, we have to put safety first."
