Due to Storm Bert forecast for Saturday, we have had to make the decision to amend the light switch on event in Droitwich Spa. The main issues are the forecast for persistent heavy rain and strong wind gusts 😥 This necessitates due diligence to mitigate against associated risks. To this effect we have dispensed with the temporary staging and gazebo structures on the exposed open area of Victoria Square. Unfortunately due to the high winds, we have also had to cancel the funfair.
We are able to still go ahead with the Santa’s Grotto in St Richard’s House as planned.
Due to the bad weather, the market stalls and the entertainment groups will be indoors, at the Community Hall in Heritage Way, WR9 8RF.
We will use the John Corbett Room (the hall on the left) for the market stalls, and use the Main Hall (the room on the right) for the community performances.
Due to the size of I-Sing Choir (100+ performers) we have made the decision for them to sing in St Andrew’s Shopping Centre (near Boots) as there is shelter and more space. The switch on will still go ahead at 6pm from there.
