Lincoln Causeway music school Musikids has cancelled classes on Monday after the building was inundated by water early Sunday morning.

In an update to families, owner Kathryn Pyle thanked the people who came to assist afterwards with moving items and cleaning up.

"A falling tree took out the power to the surrounding area meaning the pumps that we were relying on to keep the water away from the building stopped and the water came in," she said.

"That means, sadly, the Musihut is out of action for the foreseeable future and there will be some changes to classes over the coming weeks."

Some classes will be held in HotHouse Theatre in the interim.
