WILMSLOW Animal Sanctuary has been forced to cancel its Halloween event this Sunday, October 22, because of the very poor weather forecast and already sodden ground, making parking impossible.
"Sadly we have had to take the decision to cancel the Halloween event on Sunday," said sanctuary volunteer Nicola Foster.
"After all the rain the last few days the fields are not suitable for using for parking today, and we are forecast another 12 hours heavy rain before the event.
"On top of that with the winds forecast for Sunday it is doubtful we would be able to put the party tent up for refreshments.
"Thank you so much for all the donations of chocolate and bottles - these will all be used at other fundraising events such as the artisan markets.
"If you've made cakes for the event, thank you and I hope you and your family will enjoy them. Lastly, thanks to all of you who volunteered your time on the day. Hopefully you will have a lovely quiet Sunday afternoon."
