'Terrible' deja-vu as Shrewsbury Christmas market cancelled AGAIN due to high winds
A Christmas market has been cancelled for the second time in a fortnight - again due to stormy weather.
The Made In Shropshire market in The Square, Shrewsbury, had been rescheduled to take place on Saturday after anticipated 50mph winds forced organisers to postpone it from its original date of December 9.
But, in a cruel twist of fate, windy weather has put paid to the event going ahead again.
A spokesman for Made In Shropshire said: "Unfortunately we have had to take the awful decision to cancel our Christmas Fair this year. Due to the stormy, blustery conditions forecast it is not safe to set up our gazebos in The Square, Shrewsbury, this weekend.
"Wind gusts are forecast between 30-40+ mph throughout the day. And whilst the Square is sheltered in some areas, it can unfortunately be very blustery, even with very little wind forecast.
"We understand this is terrible news for many, but we would like to thank you all for your support over the years and wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. We hope to see you all again in 2024."
Made In Shropshire holds regular markets in Shrewsbury on the second Saturday of the month (excluding January) where traders sell local food, drink, arts, crafts and produce.
