Stamford Christmas Market Cancelled Due to Storm Bert
In a disappointing announcement, organisers Stamford Town Council have been forced to cancel this year's Stamford Christmas Market due to severe weather conditions. Storm Bert, predicted to bring high winds to the area on Sunday, has raised significant safety concerns for market traders, residents, and visitors.
Councillor Jo Winterbourne, the event organiser, expressed deep regret over the decision, stating, "We have exhausted all possibilities to make the Christmas Market happen, but prioritising safety is our utmost concern. The decision was not taken lightly, as months of preparation have gone into this event."
Winterbourne extended gratitude to all involved, especially the market traders who had shown enthusiasm and support. She concluded by expressing hope for a larger and more successful market in 2025.
The cancellation has undoubtedly dampened the festive spirit in Stamford, but the organisers' commitment to public safety is commendable. As the community navigates through this setback, anticipation for the 2025 Christmas Market already begins to build.
