Summer fete postponed over weather fears
Organisers of tomorrow's summer fete at Morrab Gardens, Penzance have postponed the event after high winds raised safety concerns.
The Friends of Morrab Gardens were due to hold their annual fete from 10am to 4pm but the stormy weather has played havoc with their plans.
An inspection of the site this morning found that it would be too dangerous to set up stalls in the gardens.
"Because of the high winds the people setting up the stalls thought it would be too dangerous," said Joe Palmese, head gardener at Morrab.
