CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL CANCELLED
Due to England’s very stormy weather, the second day of the Cheltenham festival has been cancelled.
Strong winds have made the marquees unsafe for people to be near, this making it one of the main reasons to cancel.
55,000 people were scheduled to attend the exciting event,
However, were disappointed when their tickets would not be valid on Thursday or Friday, even though they would receive 100% refund.
The last time there had been a cancellation, was at the 2001 festival when the whole thing was put off because of a foot and mouth outbreak.
The managing director, Edward Gillespie has explained ‘on Tuesday night we had a forecast indicating wind speeds with gusts of over 50 mph up to and including Wednesday afternoon.’
He then later said that temporary facilities may not be safe.
On the bright side, the races that were scheduled for Wednesday will be on the following days.
