Heavy rain set to pummel Hawke's Bay this weekend has forced the cancellation of Mangapapa Wedding Affair.
The sixth annual event was to be held outdoors at Mangapapa Petit Hotel tomorrow from 10am to 2pm.
"As you are no doubt aware there is an adverse weather system moving towards New
Zealand this week, and in response to this we have decided to cancel," reservations and events manager Clair Rochester said. "The safety of our exhibitors and visitors is of the utmost importance and with the region anticipating gale force winds as well as heavy rain we feel it is simply too great a risk to continue."
Unfortunately due to a full schedule until the end of April, Mangapapa will not be able to reschedule, as weather becomes too unpredictable by May and there was not enough space to hold the event indoors.
"We are so sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment this causes."
