Morrisons in Ross-on-Wye is launching a new service offering free meeting spaces to local groups such as new parents, charities, book clubs, craft groups and gaming communities. Groups can book tables, which can seat up to 20 people, through the Morrisons Ross-on-Wye Community Champion.

The initiative is designed to help community groups deal with the increasing cost of booking meeting spaces in local centres, after its research revealed that local groups typically spend up to £20 an hour on meet up spaces.

Helen Tordoff, Head of Cafés at Morrisons, said: “We’ve seen more groups use our café spaces as meet up areas so we’re delighted to formalise the offering and make it even easier for local communities to come together over a cup of tea and great food.”

Meet up areas will be available in the Ross-on-Wye supermarket’s café between 9am until 11 am and 2pm until the café closes every weekday.
