Community venues in Seaton are opening as 'Warm Spaces' this winter in response to the current cost of living crisis.

At least one free open space will be open for six days of the week.

The open spaces promise to be warm, welcoming and some are offering refreshments, allowing local residents somewhere to go if they are feeling the pinch with the rising cost of heating, food and other bills.

The warm spaces opened this month and will remain open throughout winter.
