Changes announced to events in Morecambe this weekend due to bad weather

The Escape2Make Green Festival has moved to an indoor location due to the bad weather forecast for this weekend

There have been a number of changes to events taking place in Morecambe this weekend due to the bad weather forecast for the weekend.

Heavy showers are expected on Saturday in the Morecambe area, following on from a Met Office yellow warning for strong winds in North Lancashire on Friday.

The Escape2Make Green Festival, taking place this Saturday from 11am to 4pm, is moving to More Music from its original location of the West End Gardens near The Battery.

A spokesperson for the Lancaster-based youth charity said: "The weather forecast is not looking good, so we are moving from West End Gardens to More Music, 13 – 17 Devonshire Road, Morecambe, LA3 1QT

"We put safety and wellbeing of young people above everything at Escape2Make. Our mission is to create safe, kind, welcoming spaces and we want to be able to guarantee a good, safe experience for them.

"So, come and escape the rain this weekend and enjoy live music, theatre performances, arts and crafts and loads more, all produced by 11-18’s in the area!

"This is a FREE event open to everyone so bring your friends and family!

"Information on transport and parking is HERE."

Meanwhile a family fun weekend planned for Happy Mount Park in Morecambe on Saturday and Sunday has been postponed.

Morecambe Event Co posted on their Facebook page: "Unfortunately with the horrendous weather we are currently getting in Morecambe, we have had to make the decision to postpone this weekend's event at Happy Mount Park.

"With heavy rain and extremely heavy winds forecast it would not be feasible to proceed.

"We will have the rescheduled dates arranged within the next week or so.

"We look forward to seeing you all at Happy Mount Park in due course, and when the weather has improved."

The event was due to include a fun fair and a market made up of local traders, crafters and businesses.
