Bourne's Coffee Shop & Bistro at Denby Pottery Village is set to host a veterans coffee morning on Saturday, April 5.

It’s the first time Bourne's Coffee Shop & Bistro will host a coffee morning for veterans on behalf of The Royal British Legion.

Philip Joynes, chairman at the Ripley Branch of The Royal British Legion, said: “Veterans have a slightly different outlook on life than people who have never served in the forces.

"It’s good to get together and enjoy a chat with like-minded people who have similar experiences and sense of humour.”
