RHS Garden Bridgewater is to close for the day on Friday, February 18, as Storm Eunice brings strong winds to the region.

The Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind throughout the day, and the garden a little outside Trafford in Worsley is looking to ensure the safety of its staff, visitors and volunteers.

Visitors with bookings are able to rebook or ask for a refund, and the garden is set to open as usual this weekend.

A spokesperson for RHS Garden Bridgewater said: "Due to the forecast of very strong winds tomorrow, all RHS gardens including RHS Bridgewater will be closed on Friday, February 18, for the safety of our staff, visitors and volunteers.

"All areas of the garden will be closed including the Bridgewater Cafe and Garden Centre."
