A GARDEN centre is to unveil a new home interiors department as part of its £1m redesign.

Crooklands Garden Centre at Dalton will open its new two-floor home interiors, gift and furniture department on July 23.

The retail outlet is currently undergoing a complete transformation and work will continue on the expansion throughout the summer.

Managing director Marc Charnley said: "We are very excited that phase one of our four phase redevelopment is about to be revealed, with our home department launching this month.

"The difference in what we’ll now able to offer our customers is staggering. The expansion will allow us to introduce an enormous range of exciting new furniture, home accessories and gifts every year, while continuing to offer our customers great value, quality products."

The centre will close for the whole of September ahead of the relaunch in October.
