The Sir Joseph Banks Centre is based in Bridge Street and sells and promotes locally produced gifts, arts and crafts.

As a charity, the centre relies entirely on volunteers to staff the shop and is keen to hear from anyone who can help.

The shop opens Monday to Saturday from 10am-4pm.

Manager Kate Donald said: “We are coming up to one of our busiest times of the year. Retail experience would be an advantage but is not necessary.”

Sir Joseph Banks - a renowned botanist from the Georgian era - is regarded as one of the most famous people to have lived in Horncastle.
