The decision was taken after a weather warning was issued of strong winds and heavy rain.<\/p>\n
With no weather warnings in place for this evening, tonight\u2019s event will go ahead as planned from 6pm \u2013 9pm.<\/p>\n
Head of Culture with Council, Aeidin McCarter, said while disappointing, health and safety was the main priority in making the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been monitoring the weather situation throughout the week and have made the decision to cancel the outdoor element of tomorrow\u2019s event.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is always a risk when staging any outdoor event and while this is very disappointing \u2013 particularly for our events team and performers who have put so much effort into planning and creating this experience \u2013 health and safety is always the main concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully the forecast is fine for today and we can go ahead with the Trail events as planned, so we look forward to welcoming visitors this evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd plans for Friday\u2019s night\u2019s main Halloween celebrations are still in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith more people expected to attend this evening we would advise that you check the traffic and travel information, and be mindful that large crowds are expected which may put pressure on parking. Plan your journey in advance and use public transport if possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe apologise for any disappointment and promise a spectacular show this evening and Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indoor events in the Guildhall and other venues will go ahead as planned on Thursday, with children\u2019s shows and activities scheduled throughout the day, as well as a live performance by popular local band Ports at 9.30pm under the Samhain Moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The decision was taken after a weather warning was issued of strong winds and heavy rain.
