Hastings Carnival fireworks cancelled due to the weather

Fireworks were scheduled from Hastings Castle at dusk on Saturday August 5, following the carnival procession, which starts at 5pm.

But a decision was made to cancel today given a forecast predicting rain and high winds.

Heavy rain is forecast for much of Saturday but the Met Office forecast, as of today, is predicting a 30 percent chance of lighter rain at the time the procession is due to leave Rock-a-Nore Road at 5pm.
