This was reported on in the Guardian or FT recently – that over-cautious PR consultants are driving a lot of the cancelled event decisions, which is not landing well with customers and zero-hours staff but is arguably safer in the social media age. They cancelled the last night of the Proms, which could have been billed as a huge celebration of the monarchy but even that was deemed too high a risk.

Could've been a great emotional patriotic rousing moving blah blah experience for everyone involved. Such a basic (thoughtless) decision to cancel.

I guess there's also an element of your ability to adapt.
Idk but is the Proms so meticulously planned that appropriately deferential* last min changes are so hard that it's just easier to cancel?
*whatever a panel from the Express and Mail deem that to be I guess

Football definitely seemed one that was hugely worried about negative publicity whereas I reckon your average football fan is more patriotic than your average man on the street.

I guess they've weighing up the long term implications of being cancelled / DM shamed vs the lost revenue and short term loss of good will.
I wonder if it'd be a different call had it still been school holidays?
Out of curiosity will their actions change your decision to visit in the future?
