The Bluff Oyster and Food Festival has been canned once again.

The festival was to be held in May,  but has been postponed due to a former hotel adjacent to the site,  having a dangerous building notice on it.

It’s the second year running it’s been cancelled, with Covid-19 the reason last year.

Festival chair John Edminstin, who owns the building next door told Roman Travers he knows this is disappointing news for Bluff.

He says the festival would generally bring in thousands of people who would eat, drink and stay there.
