Heavy snow brings disruption to Yorkshire

Events were cancelled due to the snow.

In South Yorkshire, the Round Sheffield Run was cancelled due to safety reasons.

Braun Sheffield Sharks’ basketball game against London Lions was also postponed.

The club said: “The safety of our fans, players, and staff is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding.”

All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date to be confirmed.

In West Yorkshire, the Piece Hall in Halifax closed, as did Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

A statement said it would be in touch with customers who had booked a ticket for today.

Leeds City Council said all Leeds Museums sites would be closed and, in North Yorkshire, Castle Howard closed due to the weather conditions.

It said heavy snowfall had made it impossible to open the site.

Dales Countryside Museum and Hawes National Park Visitor Centre were also closed.
