A winter lights festival is scheduled to be inaccessible to the public over the weekend, attributed to predictions of powerful winds. The Nene Park Winter Festival, situated at Ferry Meadows in Peterborough, has featured an illuminated willow sculpture trail, an open-air cinema, and live performances. The Nene Park Trust issued an apology for the cancellation of the event, and a spokesperson stated: “The safety of our visitors, performers, volunteers and staff is our top priority.” The trust confirmed that individuals who had purchased tickets in advance would receive refunds. The festival is expected to resume operations on Monday and Christmas Eve. This event had previously experienced a temporary closure earlier in the current month, also due to projected winds associated with Storm Darragh.
