Harrogate ice rink closes as wind brings more disruption
The Harrogate Ice Rink
Today's strong winds are having an impact on local attractions on Christmas Eve.
The ice rink at Crescent Gardens in Harrogate announced on social media it would be closed for the second time in recent days due to wind.
It said:
"Due to the Met Office yellow warning for today being wind gusts up to 61mph, it will be unsafe conditions to ice skate.
"It is with great regret that we have therefore made the difficult decision to close the ice rink for Christmas Eve.
"We plan to reopen the ice rink as usual on Boxing Day but please keep an eye on our social media."
RHS Garden Harlow Carr has also closed due to the weather. It posted on social media:
"Unfortunately due to the forecast of strong winds, the garden will be closed all day on Christmas Eve. Betty's will be open from 8am and the garden centre (except the glasshouse) will be open as usual."
Mother Shipton's in Knaresborough has said it will be closing slightly earlier than scheduled on Christmas Eve due to the weather warning.
A yellow weather warning is in place with gusts of up to 66mph forecast in the Harrogate district.
