The Viva Shop on Churchgate Street in Soham has extended its opening hours to meet local demand.

The shop is now open from Monday to Saturday, 9am to 4pm, and is currently stocked with plenty of Halloween goodies.

The shop not only stocks pre-loved items, but many new clothes, coats, winter boots, shoes and fancy dress costumes.

The new autumn range is now on display, including well-known high-street brands.

There is also a rail of evening wear for the Christmas party season.

The shop, which raises money for The Viva Theatre, the converted mill building on Spencer Drove, has been a mainstay of Soham since 2006.

It is run by a team of nearly 20 volunteers and a full time manager, Peter Lawrence.

Peter said: “Our wonderful team of volunteers have once again risen to a challenge and are giving even more of their time each day.

“This means that we can stay open longer to welcome customers and receive donations.

“We look forward to seeing lots of families on their way home from school, especially now that we’ve got some great costumes for Halloween in stock.”
