Christmas Market cancelled as Storm Darragh set to batter city

Leeds Chistmas Market has been forced to cancel tomorrow as the city braces itself for Storm Darragh's arrival.

The festive market, in City Square, will not open tomorrow, Saturday, December 6. This is due to 'extreme weather' that is expected to hit the city centre. The organisers say they realise this will be 'disappointing' but have made this decision to ensure the safety of their staff and visitors. Their plan is to reopen the market on Sunday, December 8, but this is 'weather dependent'.

A Leeds Christmas Market spokesperson said: "Unfortunately due to the expected extreme weather, it will not be safe for us to open the Leeds Christmas Market in City Square on Saturday, December 7. "We recognise this may be disappointing, however the safety of our visitors and traders is of the utmost importance. At the moment the plan is to reopen on Sunday, December 8, however this is weather dependent."Get all the latest Leeds food, drink, events and shopping news straight to your inbox by signing up to our Best in Leeds newsletter here.
