A DANCE festival at Newhaven Fort has been cancelled due to adverse weather warnings.

The event was scheduled to happen today with performances from dance acts Mollie Collins, 1991 and Sami Kubu.

But weather forecasts left the festival organisers with no choice but to call it off.

A statement on Facebook said: “This decision was taken reluctantly following production company advice.

“Public safety is of paramount importance and the organisers took the difficult decision to postpone the event for this reason.”
