A three day food event due to take place in Merthyr Tydfil next week has been cancelled due to lack of takers.

Organised by Merthyr council and the Big Heart of Merthyr Tydfil, the Merthyr International Food Market was billed as "a taste of something different," promising amazing food, live music and children's activities in the town centre.

But it's now been announced on social media that insufficient interest has led to it being axed at with just days to go.

Fortunately though, the rest of the varied live line-up planned for the town over the summer months still looks to be going ahead, including the Merthyr Food Festival in July, the Awesome Merthyr Chilli Fiesta in June and August's Merthyr By The Sea, which will see Penderyn Square transformed in a beach with deckchairs, buckets and spades and beach huts.
