A community centre in South Hereford is reopening its doors in April after a two-year absence due to Covid.
Saxon Hall Community Centre in Putson, which closed in March 2020 due to the national lockdown, was then used by the NHS from December 2020 onwards as a mass vaccination centre.
It was chosen as one of two sites in Hereford, to provide jabs for those in the south of the city, alongside Elgar House in Holmer Road.

The Putson Community Association was formed in 1998 with the mission of safely operating and maintaining buildings and gardens for the benefit and enjoyment by the local community.
The wide range of facilities at Saxon Hall offer rooms for a number of classes and activities, from sports and exercise to free workshops and community activities.

Wref Digings, treasurer for Saxon Hall, said: "We will be open from April 4 and will be offering a space for the local community to congregate for any occasion."
Mr Digings said that the group is looking to re-engage with the local community after a 20-month absence.
He said: "We are planning a big Platinum Jubilee party for Sunday, June 5, which will be a fantastic event and will bring the whole South Wye community together at Saxon Hall again."
