A city centre venue was forced to postpone a show by former astronaut Tim Peake following a "significant leak".

Cambridge Corn Exchange said it was caused by "adverse weather conditions", with the county experiencing heavy rain.

A spokesperson apologised but said "ensuring our customers are safe is our top priority". The venue is working with contractors to complete repairs.

Mr Peake's talk was due to take place on Tuesday night, but has been moved to 13 October. Ticket holders will be contacted and the original tickets remain valid.

"If you are due to attend other upcoming shows, please assume the performance will be going ahead as planned. In the event of change we will endeavour to contact customers directly," the venue said.
