Customers at the St Leonard’s Hospice furniture shop in Selby will be welcomed with coffee, cakes and crafts on February 14, to celebrate a year in operation.

The Ousegate Mill shop sells good-quality donated furniture as well as knitting and sewing patterns, materials, beads and wool.

Manager Caren Clark, who also makes craft jewellery, is setting up a new craft and chat group which will meet every Friday morning, working with her friend Katya Cooper from The Wonky Stitch shop, and people will be able to sign up on Friday.

Caren said: “In the year we’ve been open, we’ve made lots of new friends, supported the work of the hospice and, because we offer free delivery in Selby town centre, we’ve had plenty of repeat business.”
