A number of North Yorkshire events and attractions have been impacted by the poor weather forecast for this weekend.
Storm Boelo hits tomorrow, and there’s a yellow weather warning covering York and North Yorkshire in place from midday tomorrow (Saturday) till 9pm on Saturday.
There will be “widespread gusts” of 55-65mph widely, with these reaching up to 70-80mph in more exposed coastal locations, the Met Office.
This has led to a number of postponements and closures over the weekend. These include:
