Rain And Gales Close Hereford Christmas Chairlift

A storm, which unusually has not been given a name, has closed a special Christmas attraction in the English town of Hereford.

The town's 'Alpine Ski-lift experience' gave visitors the chance to sit on a chairlift with skis propped next to you and in some cases be sprayed with artificial snow with images available for social media posts,
"We are very sorry to announce that we have had to cancel the last two days of the Alpine Ski-lift experience in High Town on Sat 21st and Sun 22nd Dec. Due to high winds and rain the event equipment poses a risk to shoppers and the events team. We hope everyone that made it to the earlier events enjoyed themselves and took home some great pictures. We will be back next year," a statement for organisers Hereford City Life explained.

The town's indoor Elf on a Shop Shelf trail was unaffected and is still running until 4th Jan.
"We have had some good news though from the North Pole. Santa has better weather and will be able to deliver all the presents across Hereford this year. Merry Christmas Hereford," the Hereford City Life spokesperson added.
