Brighouse Gala cancelled for this year - but hopes remain high for a 2022 return
The event, which usually takes place in June on Wellholme Park, was pushed back to September in the hopes that restrictions would have lifted enough to allow for a safe return.
In a statement the Brighouse Gala committee said: "It is with deep regret that the Brighouse Charity Gala announce that, at a recent meeting of the Organising Committee it was decided that Brighouse Charity Gala 2021, due to be held in Wellholme Park on September 11 2021, will not now go ahead.

"Whilst this will be sad news for everyone concerned, be assured we will be working throughout the rest of this year to do our utmost to return in 2022."
