A NEW charity superstore is set to open in Bridgwater in May.

Cancer Research UK has announced it will be opening a new superstore, based in the former Lidl store on Bridgwater Retail Park.

The new shop will cover 8.180 sq ft and is set to open on Friday, May 1 according to the Cancer Research UK website.

Everything in the Cancer Research UK superstore will cost £5 or less and is four times the size of a regular high street charity shop.

The store will sell a large selection of clothing, accessories, books, CDs and DVDs, homewares, furniture and small electricals all under one roof.

The new Card Factory store is already open on Bridgwater Retail Park, while Costa was due to open on March 12.
