This weekend’s CranfordLive! music festival has been cancelled because of a waterlogged site.
About 2,000 people were expected to attend the event on Sunday which was due to include a host of live music and family entertainment.
However, organisers have said yesterday’s torrential rain coupled with the forecast for the weekend has left them no choice but to cancel.
Organiser Huw Boyt said: “We had got everything ready and all the tents up but then yesterday we had three-quarters of an inch of rain in an hour and more is expected this weekend.
“We did a walk of the field and it is too waterlogged, there is no way it could cope, it would get too damaged.
“We have been monitoring the weather so have been prepared that something like this could happen.”
Organisers will not be rescheduling the festival this year but hope it could return to Cranford for the second time in 2013.
