BURY Hospice's annual Party in the Park has been cancelled because of the weather.

The event, which was due to be held as part of a weekend of celebrations to mark the hospice's 21st anniversary, will not go ahead as planned this weekend.

Organisers decided to cancel the event after heavy rain caused several flood warnings in the borough.

It was due to take place on Sunday at Close Park, in Dumers Lane, Radcliffe.
