Set on the outskirts of Harleston, Norfolk, in the heart of the Waveney Valley, the bridal room is currently being extended to increase the selling space by around 75 per cent. Owner Vicky Parfitt reveals, “A separate changing room will be added along with a kitchen area so I can provide refreshments for brides and their guests.
