THE Wimborne Food & Drink Festival which was due to take place tomorrow has been cancelled for the second year running because of bad weather.

Organiser Jenny Brown said: “I’m afraid we have had to cancel this year’s event again because of the bad weather.

"It is a health and safety issue as we can’t put up gazebos in high winds. I’ve had to make the decision today as I can’t leave it until tomorrow.

"I am now considering bringing the event forward to an earlier month. I inherited the date from the previous organiser but I think it is something that I need to address for next year.”
