Luke’s Barbershop in Navenby has reopened following a £25,000 revamp.

As first reported on Lincolnshire Business, the shop on High Street was officially reopened at 9am on March 9 by local resident George Parish.

Owner Luke Daniels and manager Josh Plows have transformed the barbershop from its original 1940s decor to a modern new look.

The barbershop, now in its fifth year of trading, offers wet shaves and barbering on a walk-in basis and the refurb has helped create two new jobs.

Josh Plows now has part ownership of the business and is teaming up with Luke to create their own line of grooming products.

Luke said: “After five years it felt the time was right to give the shop an overhaul and provide more space allowing the boys to offer an even quicker service.

“The barbers is in good hands with Josh and his team who have been pivotal in making the business a success.

“I look forward to relinquishing even more control into his capable hands.”

An idilic yoga retreat complete with glamping pods and a dining dome will be built on the edge of Lincoln if plans are approved.

Proposals have been submitted to North Kesteven District Council by J M Hounsfield & Son for land at Chestnut Tree Farm, Wellingore, off Pottergate Road.

Eight glamping-style domes, a yoga dome, dining dome and a 16-space car park are included in the plans.

Designs for the glamping pods on the site.

The Purusha Yoga Retreats resort would offer customers a full retreat schedule, typically consisting of three yoga sessions a day and other workshops.

Treatments and workshops would include:

  • Mindfulness
  • Mantra
  • Meditation
  • Guided nature walks
  • Introduction to sustainable farming
  • Massage

Visitors would also have free time to explore the farm and local area, relax in their own wood burning hot tub, and socialise with others in a central yoga dome.

If approved, the scheme would create three part-time jobs and secure two existing jobs at the farm.  Proposals will be discussed at a planning committee meeting at North Kesteven District Council at a later date.
