A much-loved community café welcomed hundreds of customers to celebrate a decade serving of people throughout Wetherby and its surrounding villages.

Wetherby in Support of the Elderly (WiSE) originally set up its WiSE Owl Café as a social hub for older residents - but the facility has since developed into a thriving café offering a safe space to meet for people of all ages three days a week.

To mark its ten years of operation, the café at Boston Spa Village Hall offered customers a free glass of fizz and a piece of cake.

"We had lots of lovely feedback – some from people who have been coming to the café since it launched.

“The time has gone so fast, but we are still so proud to be able to offer this service and deliver it each week to a high standard.

"Here’s to the next ten years."
