Beverley Festival of Christmas CANCELLED
Sat 7th December 2024
The Beverley Festival of Christmas which was due to take place on Sunday 8 December, has today been cancelled due to weather warnings, caused by Storm Darragh.
A spokesperson for East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "We are devastated that the festival has been cancelled due to the latest weather forecast for heavy rain and severe winds scheduled this Sunday.”
"Over six months of planning has gone into the event and whilst we fully appreciated residents, visitors and traders will be extremely disappointed, the safety of all involved is our primary concern, and this decision has not been taken lightly.”
“We will communicate with all traders and stallholders to advise around refunds, and we would like to thank them all for their understanding and support at this time.”
Beverley is still open and ready to welcome you, (some of the Festival stalls hope to be be accommodated at Beverley Minster), and the Beverley Minster Christmas Tree Festival will still be open from 9am to 5pm, but we strongly advise you check the weather forecast before travelling.
