A business in Ambleside has embarked on a new venture by opening up a new store in Cumbria.

The Veg Patch specialises in selling products for children and families designed to encourage play, education and imagination.

It is a part of Lake District Estates, a family owned business with its central office located in Kendal.

And now its has further connected itself with a new part of Cumbria, sharing the first look at its new branch in Kirkby Lonsdale.

The owners commented: "Welcome to The Veg Patch family Kirkby Lonsdale! 

"Our signage is up and we are open for business so if you're heading to Kirkby Lonsdale this weekend then pop in and see us!"

The business has grown to be a popular addition to Ambleside's Market Cross, with the team now hoping to have a similar impact further south in the county.
