Dear all,

Having evaluated the cost vs benefit of staying open on a Saturday, we have made a decision to close slightly earlier every Saturday. Our amended opening hours will be 9am-2pm every Saturday (effective from 26/11/22) with our hours remaining unchanged Monday to Friday (9am-6pm). We are hopeful this won’t cause too much disruption to the community as our last two hours always tended to be quiet. Please do share this with those it may be relevant to. Thank you!
