ITALIAN deli La Dolce Vita will be open for an alfresco and picnic tasting day on Thursday from 8.30am until 9pm.

The deli and coffee shop in Albert Road, Colne, is holding a Thursday tasting day every month.

Sarah Lee, from La Dolce Vita, said: “This month's theme is about eating out in the summer sun.

“If the weather holds, it’ll be like being in Italy.

“People can drop in at any time from breakfast to supper time to try out some delicious Italian dishes.

“Or they can take something away for a picnic or alfresco dinner at home.”
