Friday night of Sefton Park Oktoberfest cancelled as 'unsafe' amount of rain falls

The Friday night of Sefton Park's Oktoberfest was cancelled after an "unsafe" amount of rain fell.

The organisers of the huge event took to Instagram to tell people hoping to visit on Friday, September 30, they were told to cancel following a visit from Environmental Health. The council department told the organisers they needed to cancel the event after a "relentless" amount of rain fell in the area today making the site "unsafe", a move organisers said they agreed with.

The team said they hoped the rest of the event would go ahead on Saturday and Sunday.
