Wren opens 127th UK showroom in Canterbury this Friday

Twelve virtual reality suites let customers walk through their planned kitchen, open cupboards and drawers and check the layout before ordering. Wren's designers can work through thousands of unit, colour and finish combinations, and the Canterbury team will carry the full design service from initial consultation and home measure through to installation.

Callum Lawrence, general showroom manager, called the opening an exciting milestone for the retailer's first Canterbury store. Planning a home improvement project is a big investment, he said, so customers need time to ask questions and feel confident in their choices.

Free design appointments can be booked online ahead of the Friday opening.
