Events cancelled across Suffolk due to storms sweeping the county

Firework displays across Suffolk have been cancelled or postponed due to bad weather

A number of firework displays and events have been cancelled this weekend due to bad weather.

Much of Suffolk has been left water-logged after Storm Babet and Storm Ciarán swept the county.

Many fireworks displays have been cancelled, including Heveningham Hall and Undley Farm, Mildenhall.

However, some organisations have decided to reschedule their events to a later date.

Just as Suffolk began to recover from Storm Babet, Storm Ciarán hit the county.

Many schools closed due to weather conditions, and several towns experienced flooding.

The 2023 fireworks display at Heveningham Hall, near Halesworth, was due to take place on 4 November

Sprites Primary Academy in Ipswich was due to hold its fireworks display on Thursday, but made the decision to cancel the event.

Headteacher Motiur Rahman said "everyone is deeply disappointed".

"We tried everything to keep the show going on. We considered reducing the event, changing the dates, moving location. Despite our best efforts, we were beaten by Storm Ciarán on this occasion."

Undley Farm was due to hold its fireworks display on 2 November, but also cancelled due to weather conditions.

Other event organisers have taken the decision to postpone.

Stonham Barns Park said: "The venue was advised by the organisers Fireworks Emporium to cancel due to the wet weather conditions around Storm Babet."

After requests from local villagers to hold the event, it has now been rescheduled for 2 December.

The Lindsey Rose pub said on its Facebook page that the storms have "left us with no choice but to postpone" a planned fireworks display.

Charlie Buckle, owner of the pub near Hadleigh, said: "There's absolutely no way we could cancel our fireworks event. We know that everyone looks forward to it, so we have decided to postpone it for a couple of weeks."

The pub will now hold the event on 25 November.
