The “No.10 Store” Opening Party

Posted on by

After a major refurbishment over the last few weeks Mrs Bees shop, in Little Bytham, is about to re-open with a new name – “The No. 10 Store“.  To mark the occasion Meg Overend, the new owner, has arranged an Opening Party between 4.00pm and 7.00pm on Saturday 14 May 2011.

Meg says that the party has been arranged “especially for the local community so they can have a look around and get a sneak peek at their shop before it opens properly on the Sunday”.  As an encouragement champagne and cup-cakes, made by the new Coffee Shop which opens in Castle Bytham Village Hall on the previous Wednesday, have been ordered but you might need to get there early before they run out!

We hope to have more information and some pictures of the redevelopment work which has taken place on theBythams website this week but, in the meantime, for further details Meg can be contacted on 410005 or via email at meg@theno10store.co.uk.
