Kirkcaldy’s Mercat Centre is set to see the opening of its second Warm Space - four months after the first space launched in the shopping centre.

The Warm and Well Centre will open its doors on Saturday, March 11, and is expected to run every Tuesday and Thursday between 10.00am and 2.00pm.

The space will be run by Natalie Hall, who previously opened the Kirkcaldy Vineyard Church Hub in the centre lat year, and will host a number of amenities for those seeking to warm up and get refreshments - including a fully equipped children’s play area.
