The Isle of Man Creamery has pulled out of next weekend’s Southern Agricultural Show.

In a statement the dairy says: ’Unfortunately, the Covid situation on island at present has resulted in a number of our team isolating and makes it vital for us to protect our staff and in turn the essential services they deliver to the Manx public.

’We really hope to be able to see everyone at the Royal Manx Show on August 13 and 14.’

The Southern Show takes place next weekend at Orrisdale Farm near Ballasalla.

Milk production is not being affected.
