Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 6th August 2023

If you’re not on the JYSK hype yet, what are you doing with your life?

The Danish homeware brand sells loads of beautiful bits for your home, with prices that would even have IKEA in a cold sweat.

And now it’s about to open its biggest UK store yet, right here in Greater Manchester, with massive discounts during its opening week.

JYSK, pronounced ‘yoosk’ – which is fun – has announced that its first XL store will be in Bolton after fully refurbishing the existing shop.

Tucked away on Bolton Gate Retail Park (where there’s also a really good Dunelm and a Hobbycraft), the new-look massive JYSK will have furniture in store that’s normally only available online.

It’ll also have loads more room for inspiration and displays, more stock, and a same-day click-and-collect service.

The new Bolton XL JYSK spans a massive 1,201 sq metres, and it’s offering up to 70% off hundreds of products throughout its opening week.

The brand has Scandinavian roots (we honestly associate Scandinavia with nothing but nice furniture, meatballs, and Greta Thunberg at this point) and sells everything from bedroom furniture to garden bits to decorative items.

Man jailed for ‘savagely’ attacking woman with a meat cleaver

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Mark Nuttall has been jailed for 'savagely' attacking woman with a meat cleaver

A man who attacked a woman with a meat cleaver, causing life-changing injuries, has been jailed.

Mark Nuttall has been sentenced to 21 years behind bars for the attack, which took place in his house in Farnworth, Bolton back in February.

The shocking and ‘savage’ attack saw Nuttall attempt to strangle his victim with a rope, as well as setting upon her with a knife and a meat cleaver.

She was kept inside his address for four hours, and was ‘mocked’ by Nuttall when she was bleeding heavily from her head.

He then attempted to cover his tracks and fed paramedics a false story, but the victim bravely told police officers the truth.

Mark Nuttall, 46, pleaded guilty to attempted murder in June, and was sentenced to 21 years in prison yesterday at Bolton Crown Court.

Detective Constable Jon Liversage, of Bolton CID, said: “The savagery of this assault cannot be understated – the bravery that the victim has shown throughout the investigation is inspiring and I want to thank her for assisting me throughout the investigation.

“I hope this sentence can now give her and her family some closure.

“He kept her inside the address for four hours and when he couldn’t get his own way, he attacked her with a meat cleaver, hitting her in the head four times causing life-changing injuries.

“Whilst she was bleeding heavily from her head, instead of getting her medical attention, he mocked her.

“He called the ambulance service and told them the false story but once she was in the ambulance, she told the police officers the truth and Nuttall was arrested before he could harm her any further.”
