On Saturday, the venue has had to cancel its participation for Disabled Access Day because of the impact of the flooding.

A statement on its website apologised for any inconvenience caused.

It added: 'We are hoping to re-open on Monday 14th subject to water levels receding.'

Further updates will be announced over social media.
