A new £4.5m supermarket is set to open its doors in a West Norfolk village this month.

A new Lidl store will open on Lynn Road, on the outskirts of Heacham near Norfolk Lavender, on Thursday, May 24.

Customers are invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8am and will be offered the chance to sample some of Lidl's products throughout the day.

Lidl UK's regional head of property, Colin Rimmer, said: 'We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl store to Heacham.

'It is great for us to be able to create more jobs and investment opportunities in the area.'

Lidl won planning permission to develop the former Stainsby garage site along the A149 in January 2017.

A spokesman said the new store will include an in-store bakery, longer-style tills with dual packing, customer toilets, baby changing and ample parking for both cars and bicycles.
