Sandown Christmas Spectacle Cancelled Amid Covid Concerns

A festive event scheduled for Sandown this weekend has been cancelled as a precaution following a rise in UK Covid-19 cases.

The Christmas Garden was set to light up Sandown Battery this Sunday (December 19) to celebrate the historical site in the bay.

A spokesperson for the event said:

"As we all know, the risk of Covid is on the up, so we are postponing until 2022 when we hope the coast will be clearer.

"We are sorry to disappoint everyone who was hoping to come along. Please make the most of the beautiful battery and gardens and those Sandown Bay views over the holidays."

The Christmas Garden had been set to include illuminations, craft workshops, tree dressing and a range of musical performances.
