Hereford Racecourse has provided an update ahead of Sunday’s race meeting, with heavy rain and strong winds forecast to affect Herefordshire.
A spokesperson for Hereford Racecourse told Your Herefordshire:
Update ahead of Sunday’s fixture.
“Due to operational challenges faced by forecast high winds for this Sunday we have taken the decision to reschedule all planned ‘Countryside Family Day’ entertainment to Saturday 8th March.
“The race meeting will still go ahead on Sunday with seven races as planned (first race 14.10).
“All ticket holders have been contacted direct.”
The Met Office has issued a weather warning for strong winds on Sunday:
“Southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to increase through Sunday morning, peaking late morning to early afternoon with gusts of 50-60mph, and perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland.
“Rain will accompany strong winds, which will make for very poor weather conditions, especially on roads. Winds will then ease from southwest to northeast of the warning area through the afternoon and early evening.”
