Organisers from The Women’s Hub, a Worthing-based community group, say the decision was made due to concerns over the new coronavirus, COVID-19.
Mariani Coombes, one of the organisers, said: “We’ve decided to cancel the event on Sunday after much discussion. Can’t take the risk with this coronavirus bug going around.”
The event was due to take place on Sunday, March 8, at Maybridge Keystone Centre.
