A NEW coffee shop will be hosting a special opening party tonight.

Headington's new coffee roastery New Ground officially opened on September 16, but the managers will be swinging open the doors this evening from 7.30pm to celebrate the launch.

The company, which is specialising in offering work opportunities to ex-offenders trying to get back on the job ladder has opened up just off the main high-street, near Windmill Road.

The unit, which will act as a base for training, has been opened up in a re-developed warehouse behind Simon House.
