But Transition Chesterfield is calling for volunteers to come forward for next year's event in January 2020.

A 'Save Potato Day' meeting will be held next Thursday and people are being urged to attend.

"Not only does Potato Day encourage people to grow their own food, it raises awareness about our other activities, is our main fund-raiser and is a lot of fun," a spokesperson for Transition Chesterfield said.

"If you want Potato Day to continue please come along to Inspire next Thursday, June 6 at 7pm to give your support and ideas."
