Despite the current disruptions and uncertainty, the organisers of Potatoes in Practice 2021 have agreed to proceed with preparations as normal to keep all options open for a possible field event on Thursday 12 August 2021.
Potatoes in Practice (PIP) is the UK’s largest field potato event and was cancelled last year due to COVID restrictions. Still, organisers hope that the event can make a comeback in 2021 if regulations allow for it.
