IT was Champagne all the way at the official opening of a skincare boutique in Haslemere.

Opened by the mayor and mayoress Malcolm and Sandie Carter, the High Street-based ARK Skincare were joined in the celebrations by people from the local community and surrounding villages.

They enjoyed a tour of the boutique followed by a champagne reception at Haslemere Town Hall.

The chief executive of the award-winning British-made skincare products Tamsin Styles said: “Haslemere has a really vibrant feel and a strong sense of community so it an ideal choice for our first boutique.

“We have been made to feel very welcome by other businesses and residents alike and are very happy to now call Haslemere our home.”
