The Green Party in **England and Wales** has cancelled its Brighton Spring conference due to concerns over the Coronoavirus. Their conference was due to take place in the city over the weekend of 20-22 March.

A statement on the [Green party website](https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2020/03/12/green-party-cancels-spring-conference-due-to-covid-19/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) says:

> “As a democratic party, conference plays an important role in determining policy and the overall direction of the party, as well as providing a space for training and discussion for members.  
>  
> However it would not be responsible to continue with our plans given the ongoing situation.  
>  
> In lieu of conference, plans are already underway to provide members with access to fringe sessions and interaction opportunities online throughout the course of the weekend.  
>  
> We will be offering refunds of fees for those already booked. We hope that, given the party will face a significant financial loss as a result of this decision, those members that are able to consider foregoing this will do so.”
