A cookware shop has opened at a garden centre.

Haskins Garden Centre Snowhill in Crawley has welcomed a Lakeland store to the site, enhancing the Copthorne centre's offering to the area.

Lakeland, taking its name from its founding home in Windermere in the Lake District, offers a variety of cooking, baking, cleaning, and laundry products.

The new store created eight jobs in the area and has already proved popular with visitors to Haskins Snowhill.
