Robert Wilkinson's Funfair cancelled

ROBERT Wilkinson’s Funfair – due to pitch up in Meriden Park later this week – has been cancelled.

Solihull Connect tweeted this morning that the popular fairground would not go ahead due to unsuitable ground conditions.

The fair, which was due to arrive on Thursday, always draws a good crowd when it comes to Chelmsley Wood. It’s yet to be confirmed if the event has been rescheduled.

The announcement comes after several weeks of unsettled weather, with more rain than is typical for this time of year. Although the Met Office has predicted conditions may pick up from Wednesday, with warmer temperatures and sunshine on the way.
