THE new Next store in Festival Place will open its doors to the public next week.

The bigger and better store in the Basingstoke shopping centre will cover a massive 25,751 sq ft and will feature a wide range of the firm’s products.

Next will occupy the unit of the old BHS store in Festival Place, which has been closed since April 2016, after the retail chain’s collapse.

At the opening of the store on January 28, customers will also have the chance to win a £200 gift card.

The area manager for the Basingstoke store, Stacey Richards, said: “Join us at our sparkling, new concept store. The one thing that won’t have changed is the amazing customer service you will be used to.”

The store will be open Monday to Wednesday 9am to 7.30pm, Thursday to Friday 9am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 7pm and Sunday 11am to 5pm.
