A NEW menswear shop will open in Dovercourt this weekend.

Parklife on High Street is being launched by Marcus Howlett with a grand opening taking place on Saturday.

It will offer general menswear, sports clothing, skateboards, scooters and shoes including brands such as Vans.

Mr Howlett, 41, said: “There is nothing at all in Harwich and Dovercourt for trendy men’s clothing unless you want to shop in Peacocks."

It will be a second business for Mr Howlett who already runs Marcus Howlett Photography.

The shop will be open from 9am on Saturday. For more information visit facebook.com/pages/Parklife.
