THE whole community is invited to celebrate 50 years of The Original Factory Shop.

The team at the shop in West Street, Bridport, is inviting the community to the store on Saturday, May 18.

As part of the celebrations, TOFS asked schools across Bridport to submit artwork to best represent the town and what their community means to them.

The winning school was Bridport Primary School and the winning artwork will be unveiled at the celebrations on Saturday and displayed in store. The school is also in the running to be named national winner and receive £1,000.

For the event, TOFS is calling for performers of any age to take part on the day, including singers, dancers and even magicians.
