The Wooden Canal Boat Society charity shop in Ashton is due to reopen next week for the first time since lockdown.

The shop on Stamford Street Central - which has been closed since March due to the coronavirus - will be open from 10am to 4pm Mondays to Saturdays.

There will be Covid-19 measures in place, including screens and a one-way system.

Unfortunately, furniture won't be accepted at the moment but other donations will be gratefully received.

The Wooden Canal Boat Society is a waterway society, which aims to preserve wooden working boats, and also a registered charity.
