COUNTRYWIDE will be opening its doors on Saturday. 

The store at Bourne Retail Park will be holding a grand opening at 10am with fun activities for all the family to get involved in. 

There will be activities and entertainment, including free face painting, refreshments and a spin the wheel game with fun prizes; as well as a balloon magician, and Tractor Ted with a bouncy castle. An animal corner will be provided by Longdown Mobile Farm, featuring Max the miniature donkey, kid goats, piglets, chicks, chickens, ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs.

It will become the 68th Countrywide Country Store and will create 13 new jobs in the area.

Countrywide provides a range of products from dog walking and horse riding supplies, to farming and outdoors products.
