It comes as work is starting to restore an iconic Devon tower after a different storm on December 30
Last updated 3rd Jan 2024
Despite hopes it could reopen this lunchtime, Exmouth's ocean entertainment venue remains shut today.
It's after part of the roof was seen lifting in Storm Henk yesterday, with the road in front of it also closed as a precaution.
A spokesperson for the venue said: "With the weather still poor it hasn't been possible to safely access the roof for repairs. We will update you again as soon as we have the safety sign off from the professionals
"Our team are working hard to reach out to all of those who have booked in today. With the day being sold out this is taking some time and we apologise in advance for any delay."
It comes as - following a previous storm on December 30 - work is underway to restore part of a tower on a Grade-1-listed Devon castle.
ickleigh Castle, near Tiverton, dates back 900 years to the 12th century and has been frequently visited by Royals during its long history.
The popular wedding venue and bed and breakfast accommodation remains open as usual - with work now underway to remove and preserve the stones - which it's hoped will form 70 per cent of the replacement tower over the next year or so of restoration work.
A Met Office yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for tomorrow, with Environment Agency flood warnings and alerts still in force across the region.
