A new market due to be held in Harrogate on Sunday has been cancelled as the district prepares for another storm.
Yellow weather warnings are in place for snow and wind in the Harrogate district tomorrow.
Real Food Markets, a community interest company that has organised a food market in Ilkley for six years, was due to host its first market in Harrogate’s Crescent Gardens on Sunday.
But tomorrow’s impending arrival of Storm Eunice has prompted organisers to cancel it.
A statement from Real Food Markets said:
“We are sorry to announce that our market for February 290will not take place due to dangerous weather conditions.
“Our first Real Food Harrogate will therefore take place on March 20. We sincerely hope to see you there. 10-3pm, Crescent Gardens, Harrogate.”
