A NOT-for-profit scrapstore in Southampton is set to host an open day.

Southampton Scrapstore, on Belgrave Industrial Estate, Portswood, will throw open its doors to members of the public on Saturday, March 17.

The event will allow non-members to browse and purchase scrap metals for arts and craft projects.

Bags of scrap materials will cost £2.50 or £4 for a 'bag for life' size bag.

Teas and coffees will also be available and handmade crafts will be on sale upstairs.

The event, which is not suitable for children under eight, will take place from 10.30am until 1.30pm.
