WELLINGTON'S St Margaret's Somerset Hospice shop will re-open at 10am on Monday, following a major refurbishment.

The shop in Fore Street was opened in 1996, although St Margaret's first shop in Wellington had begun trading eight years earlier in South Street.

A major upgrade of the shop was urgently needed, and manager Sally Gosney is delighted with the improvements which have been achieved.

Following a two-and-a-half week shutdown, the shop has had a complete makeover.

New fixtures have been introduced which display merchandise to greater effect, while offering more flexibility to change layouts in order to meet differing seasonal needs.
