AN ARTS event scheduled for this afternoon has been cancelled because of the weather.

Salisbury Arts Scene had planned to hold a special event in the city's Market Place from 12pm until 7pm today, December 3, as the start of a weekly initiative in the lead up to Christmas.

Because of the weather however, the event has been cancelled and will take place next week.

A spokesperson for Salisbury Arts Scene said: "[Today's] event has regrettably been cancelled due to the weather but it is being rescheduled for December 17 and of course next week's event on the 10th will still be taking place.

"We look forward to seeing you there!"

Salisbury Arts Scene has been holding exhibits, trails and markets in the city throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with a mission to transform Salisbury into more of an arts and crafts hub for both residents and visitors.
