Holbeach Christmas parade is cancelled over administration error

Part of the Holbeach Christmas weekend next month has had to be pulled.

A parade and market stalls organised by Les Ward will not go ahead on Sunday, December 4 as the event committee was too late submitting a road closure request and event plan.

Mr Ward said: “I’d just like to say sorry to everyone for letting them down.
“I’m really disappointed but I will be back next year.”

The event was not linked with Holbeach St Nicholas Fayre, which is on the Saturday and Sunday around All Saints’ Church and is unaffected.
