Consultations to be booked through the website, thewoolroom.com, to secure a 30 or 60 minute appointment.

Chris Tattersall, managing director of Woolroom which continued to operate through lockdown online after its shops closed, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming back our customers into each of our stores in Peak District, Marlow and Ipswich.
