A cafe in Netherfield has been transformed into a vibrant community space and shop. Connect Cafe took over the space on Victoria street in the former Waiting Room Cafe.
Owner Nina Offord-Hall took on the cafe in December after her son showed the space. She had dreamed of having her own cafe for years and decided to take a chance on Netherfield. It's not just a cafe but a meeting place, community and creative hub along with a shop that showcases the best local artists and authors.
"I found the cafe because of my son. He worked across the road and he showed me the place thinking it could be great. I had a business place for it but then when I got here I realised what the community wanted. They wanted sausages from the local butcher and a place to come together and be a community," she said.
