The wagon train finale in Buile Hill Park tonight has been cancelled due to extreme weather.
***CANCELLED***
We’re very sorry to let you know that tonight’s Salford 100: Wagon Train Finale in Seedley Park has been cancelled. We made this decision on safety grounds.
We had severe weather during set-up and rehearsals yesterday, and with the Met Office’s yellow weather warning in place until 9pm tonight, we can’t go ahead safely. The safety of the performers, crew, and you, our audience, comes first.
Everyone behind this event is truly disappointed that what we’ve created together won’t be shared this evening. That includes Walk the Plank, Salford City Council, and the many participants from Salford’s communities, alongside poets, artists and makers. The finale was the result of months of planning and collaboration with community partners, groups and residents across Salford. Over the summer, the Wagon Train visited nine neighbourhoods and was part of twelve events celebrating the talents of people who live, work and play in the city.
The finale was meant to be a spectacular end to a wonderful summer, but the sudden arrival of winter storms has stopped it from going ahead. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey, and to all of you who were planning to join us tonight.
