Everything you need to know after Hali-Con was cancelled because of Storm Jorge

Organisers of the event which was due to be staged at Calderdale College said with the threat of Storm Jorge and having to bring in guests, equipment and teams for all across the country the common sense decision was to postpone the event.

"We do not postpone events lightly, but weather warnings across the whole of the weekend didn't justify putting people at risk to keep the event on.

"We are currently emailing all ticket holders with options for moving their ticket to another event or receiving a full refund.

"We have been in contact with all of the traders and guests to the event and whilst the last thing anybody wanted was the event not go ahead, the wider picture had to be viewed and the safety of those involved with the event and also of the attendees coming to the event."

For those who bought tickets they can get a full refund or transfer it to Hudds Comic-Con on June 6.

The tickets can also be used for the rearranged Hali-Con with organisers hoping to make an announcement imminently.
