Last year saw the town’s largest-ever turnout for the lights switch-on, prompting organisers to criticise the lack of consideration for local businesses, suppliers and traders, as well as the negative impact of the rescheduling.
Organisers apologised in the official statement.
They said: “This decision has not come lightly. We have done our utmost to deliver this year’s event, and we acknowledge that this impacts many other people and businesses who have planned to visit.
“We have tried our very best to deliver an event for everyone, and we are very sorry to disappoint you all.”
