RHS Harlow Carr to close tomorrow due to weather warning
RHS Harlow Carr entrance.
RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate has announced it will close tomorrow and its Autumn Garden Weekend has been cancelled due to Storm Babet.
The Autumn Garden event was due to take place this weekend on Saturday (October 21) and Sunday (October 22).
However, the RHS said in an email today:
“The extreme weather means it will not be possible to set up the event as planned on Friday and therefore the garden will be closed in order to ensure the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers.”
The announcement follows a weather warning issued by the Met Office earlier this week.
It said the Harrogate district will see heavy rain from 9pm on Wednesday to 6am on Saturday.
The RHS added it will “monitor the weather” and hopes to reopen the garden as usual on Saturday.
It added:
“We are very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this is likely to cause, and we thank you for your understanding.”
