Coastal Winds Scupper Sussex Festivals

7 Jun

Summary

Strong winds caused cancellations of festivals and shows.
Fallen trees disrupted power cables and bus services.
Some events were postponed to later dates.

Strong winds impacted coastal areas in East and West Sussex and parts of Kent on Saturday. A Met Office yellow warning for strong winds was in effect from 09:00 to 19:00 BST. The adverse weather caused fallen trees to bring down power cables and disrupt bus services.

Several events, including festivals and shows, were cancelled or postponed for safety reasons. Organizers of the South of England Show cancelled the remainder of Saturday's programme. A festival in West Sussex was moved to June 27, and another in Worthing was postponed, with hopes for sunshine later in the month. A barn dance in Ditchling was also cancelled.
