Storm "Arwen" swept over Great Britain - and dozens of concertgoers were stuck in a pub. Apparently this did not affect the mood.

Because of the storm and snow, visitors to a concert stayed two nights in a snow-covered British pub.

The guests were stranded after the performance of an Oasis cover band on Friday evening at the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in northern England, according to the BBC.

Autumn storm "Arwen" had also caused traffic chaos in other parts of Great Britain and caused the electricity to fail in many households.

Around 60 pub guests therefore had to spend not just one, but even two nights in the inn - some in temporary sleeping quarters. Two thirds of them had booked an overnight stay anyway. On Saturday morning, almost a meter of snow had fallen around the 528-meter-high pub - according to the company, the highest in the country - so that the surrounding streets remained blocked even after the storm had subsided. It was still unclear on Sunday when the guests could leave the place.

Manager Nicola Townsend said her team tries to keep people happy.

"I wanted to call a competition for the best dressed snowman yesterday, but it was so cold and the wind so strong that it didn't work." According to the BBC report, the guests remained in good spirits.

There was "plenty of beer left," pub-visitor Martin Overton told the broadcaster.
