Another North Yorkshire attraction has announced it will close due to stormy weather that could see 60mph gusts hit the county.
North Yorkshire Council has cancelled Moonlight on the Lake in Scarborough on Friday (October 23) and Saturday on safety grounds as the county braces for Storm Boelo.
The event in Peasholm Park celebrates Scarborough’s heritage and was due to see hundreds of handmade lanterns and illuminations reflecting on the surface of the water.
A council spokesperson said the safety of visitors and stuff “must remain our top priority”.
“We understand this will be disappointing and apologise for the inconvenience.
“Unfortunately, we are unable to reschedule the event, but all ticket holders will receive an automatic refund within the next 10 days. Thank you for your understanding.”
Storm Boelo (pronounced Boo-loh) is due to hit North Yorkshire from Saturday to Sunday and will follow Storm Austen which has brought disruption across south west England and Wales.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind from 12pm on Saturday until 9pm on Sunday in North Yorkshire warning travel disruption is expected along with power cuts.
Forbidden Corner in Leyburn said it will close on Sunday due to the forecast high winds.
The National Trust has also cancelled its Fountains by Floodlight experience at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal on Saturday due to the stormy weather.
