Bank Holiday Monday's Gawsworth Hall Classic Car Show has been cancelled after poor weather, and more forecast.

The famous and historic Cheshire venue posted a message on their website - http://www.gawsworthhall.com/ - today that read simply: "Due to heavy rain and snow, and a very poor weekend forecast, it is with great regret that the Bank Holiday Monday 2 May car show has been cancelled. We are very sorry for any inconvenience. Please pass on the news to any enthusiasts who may be considering attending."

Along with other parts of the UK, the north of England was lashed with driving snow and heavy rain Thursday night and Friday.
