The following statement appeared on the website of the organisers of the 2021 National Hamfest:

National Hamfest 2021

It is with much regret, that the organisers of the National Hamfest have decided to postpone the event, planned for 24 & 25 September 2021, until  September 2022.

A number of factors have made the organisation of the event impossible to predict in 2021.  At this point, we cannot, therefore, reliably commit to successfully and safely holding an event which takes upwards of 3 months of a continuous effort to organise.

The organisers not only wish to act in a responsible way towards our large team of volunteers who staff the event and make it possible every year, but also the visitors and our partner organisations, all of whom make the event such a success each year.

The organisers are looking forward to more certainty in 2022 and to welcoming you to the event in September.
