Elfingrove is open as usual from today after being forced to close yesterday due to technical issues with their marquee.
The itison team behind the Winter Wonderland event in the grounds of Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, apologised for those that missed out on their bookings but said it was 'entirely out of [their] control'.
Elfingrove creator, Oli Norman, explained that engineers were called to the scene and fixed the issue with the marquee and that the site is now reopened.

Oli Norman, CEO of itison and Elfingrove creator, said: “We were absolutely gutted to have had to cancel tonight's Elfingrove. This situation was entirely out of our control, and for the sake of the health and safety of our team and our wonderful guests, we had to cancel the show.
“This decision was not made lightly, and we want to share some more information on why the decision was taken to close the site. Today, our onsite production team noticed a technical issue with our marquee roof - they immediately requested the marquee company and consultant engineers to come on site, alongside the structural engineers who had signed off our site. The marquee company and engineers have since been on site, rectified the issue and put in contingencies to ensure this will not happen again.
“We are happy to announce that tomorrow (Saturday 26 th November), we will be going ahead as planned.
“We are so sorry to those who have been disappointed today. Reading comments of families so excited to come has really broken our hearts and we know words won't fix anything. We hope you will all come along and make ice magic with us on another day, we can’t wait to welcome you to Elfingrove.”
