North Canterbury Food and Wine Festival latest event to be cancelled

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The North Canterbury Food and Wine Festival is the latest event to be cancelled due to Covid-19.

More than 4000 people were expected to attend the festival on March 6 in Glenmark.

Under the red traffic light system, large gatherings are limited to 100 people, meaning organisers had “no choice but to cancel”.

Organisers said on the event’s website they were “truly heartbroken”.

“We're gutted that we won't be able to put a few smiles on your faces with good tunes, great food and some of the best wine in the country.”

All tickets will automatically transfer to the 2023 event, but a full refund is available through iTicket.

Several big events in Canterbury have already been cancelled this year, including the Great Kiwi Beer Festival, Electric Avenue and Nostalgia festival.
