Yellow Weather Warning Impacts Local Markets
Due to a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office for strong gusts on Saturday afternoon into the evening, several markets in the area have been affected.
Jamie Walker from CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "This is the second market cancelled this week by ourselves. Kenilworth market was cancelled on Thursday, we're now cancelling Warwick market tomorrow.
"Whilst no Weather Warning has been put in place, gust speeds are reaching 40mph throughout tomorrow, as forecasted by the Met Office.
"This is not an ideal situation and we appreciate cancelling two markets in one week has a knock on effect to ourselves, traders & visitors, but we will not put life at risk to all involved. Stalls can become very dangerous in strong winds or gusts, so safety is a priority. We know many traders and visitors will be upset by this decision, but hope you can understand safety must take priority.
