A NEW cafe is set to open in the building which previously housed iconic Taunton shop Party On.

Party On closed its High Street location in June last year, after 18 years trading in the town.

The shop has remained empty for a year following the closure.

But now it seems an independent cafe wants to take on the building.

BOS Cafe has received planning permission to change the use of the building from a shop to a restaurant.

BOS Cafe already has a Taunton town centre location, as well as restaurants in Burnham on Sea and Bridgwater.
