Entertainer and author Keith Skipper will be the special guest at the opening of a charity shop in North Walsham.

The Cromer-based personality will cut the ribbon at a new East Anglia's Children's Hospices shop in The Terrace, Market Place, on Thursday, April 12.

The new shop will be the charity's 13th in Norfolk and 31st overall, with proceeds paying for the care and support of children and young people with life-threatening conditions and their families.

Sandy Creasy, shop manager, said: 'We're so pleased to be opening our new shop in North Walsham and very much looking forward to becoming part of the community. It's fantastic Keith Skipper will be joining us as guest of honour.

'EACH is known for having well-presented shops with a range of stock, great staff and volunteers - and there will be no exception here.'

The opening will take place at 10am.
