A VICTORIAN Christmas Fair due to be held in Blackburn's Corporation Park on Sunday afternoon has been cancelled.

The event had been planned by the Corporation Park Supporters' Group but a spokeswoman for the group said that with other events going on in the town on the same day, and Christmas shopping people's main priority, they would rather save group funds.

They have decided to organise another event in March to coincide with the refurbishment of the park's playground.
