"It would be a breach of our Health and Safety policy to continue the market as normal.

"We have been monitoring the forecast for the past 24 hours.

"It is of course a great shame and a decision which isn’t taken lightly. However the safety of our staff, traders and visitors is paramount to us and we will always put this first."

Warwick market will return on February 16.
