Truck show cancelled after low ticket sales

A truck show has been cancelled months before the event due to low ticket sales.

Wessex Truck Show was due to be held in Yeovil in August. However, organisers said financial difficulties mean it has had to be cancelled and all tickets will be refunded.

The organisers added a "major sponsor" had pulled out of the event, which meant it could no longer run.

Gabrielle Cross, one of the directors of the show, said: "We are no longer in a financial position to deliver an event that meets the standards and spirit of the Wessex Truck Show."
