Jamie Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "Following consultation with our operations team, we have made a difficult decision to permit Warwick market to go ahead, but with essential stalls only - food and drink.

'The amber weather warning means that set-up will not be possible on Friday as usual. Saturday's wind levels are much better, increasing again on Sunday.

"However, due to staffing levels and timeframe, we'd be unable to set up a full market for a full trading day on Saturday morning.

"Therefore, we have decided to operate the Saturday market with essential stalls.

"This will enable our team to ensure they can set up a reduced number of stalls within a timely manner."

The market will operate from 9am until 3pm and a full list of who's attending can be found at: https://www.cjseventswarwickshire.co.uk/events/2fa92a330e9288af/ Elsewhere in the county, Rother Street market in Stratford, which was due to take place tomorrow (Friday February 18) has been cancelled.
