What better way to round off the Saturday of Ruddington’s 2019 Summer Fayre than this fundraising concert by Ruddington Community Choir?
It’s taking place at Ruddington Methodist Church, on the corner of Church Street and Charles Street.
Kathy Powis, from the Methodist Church Events Team, says: “Most of us will have some experience of dementia and the challenges it brings to families. Thankfully, there’s help and support out there and we in Ruddington are fortunate to have Bloomin’ Dementia on our doorstep. We’re also very proud of our local Community Choir under the leadership of Bernie Bracha, so we have a great evening to look forward to.”
Tickets cost £6, in aid of Bloomin’ Dementia – and are available at the Church’s Saturday Coffee Mornings, from Kathy on 0115 984 5375, or on the door subject to availability. Refreshments after the show are included.
If you ask REALLY nicely, the choir might even sing “Wilbur-Weh” for you…?

Rushcliffe Country Park “Move And Mingle” events are part of Rushcliffe Health Walks.
These are a guided health walks every Wednesday at 10.30am, starting at the education centre in the Country Park. The route varies from week to week around the park, usually no longer than 2 miles. The walk leader will adapt the route to suit the walkers – with a choice of walks to match your fitness and level of ability: a 30 minute shorter walk around the lake: or a longer walk of up to an hour.
This museum is housed within part of St Peter’s Rooms, which was Ruddington’s former Victorian school.
Founded in 1968, it explores retail life in late Victorian and early Edwardian Ruddington through a series of displays which recreate the village shops of yesteryear. These include the world’s oldest surviving fish and chip shop interior – relocated from the original premises on the corner of Ruddington High Street and The Green.
The Village Museum is open from Easter to the end of September.

The rides and attractions open at 6.00pm on Thursday and at the same time on Friday. However the funfair opens from 12 noon on the Saturday and Sunday. There’s a link to discount vouchers from Cox’s Amusements offering 50p off fairground rides >>HERE<<.

Ruddington Village Centre Partnership is encouraging all village centre retailers to come along to these monthly meetings and have their say about initiatives to encourage visitors and residents to shop and use facilities in our village.
There’ll be information and updates about the monthly Ruddington Village Market and the Ruddy Good Loyalty Card Scheme – also for those local businesses which are not already involved but might like to be.
- What do you like and what don’t you like about RVCP’s initiatives so far?
- What could RVCP be doing better to promote our village?
- How could RVCP engage more effectively with traders and customers?
- How can village businesses better support and help one another?
If you’re a Ruddington retailer you are urged to turn up or send a representative, if you possibly can, to help shape future plans.
Please email RVCP on RuddVillageCP@outlook.com in good time if you’d like to be sent the Agenda for this meeting – and perhaps add something to it yourself?

On the first Sunday of every month a New Style Café Church takes place at St Peter’s Church from 9.30am until 10.50am. For those wishing to stay longer, this is followed by Holy Communion.
Organiser Debbie King told us: “We aim to provide something for everyone, from pre-school, through schools, teens, students, families, parents, grandparents, all ages and backgrounds! For those wanting activity on a Sunday morning, there is drama, music, art, crafts, and discussion groups. Also, a quieter area for reflection, space to think, pray, even prayed for.”
If you’re alone, lonely, or at a loose end on a Sunday morning, you’re encouraged to go along and join in – and so perhaps discover others in a similar position. “If new to the village – come to meet people from the local community, find out about our church community in the village and the things we do. If a busy professional or someone curious with questions – check us out, join a discussion!”
Central to the Café Church idea is a short talk on a Bible related topic incorporating film clips or sketches, a time of discussion and questions. “Find out how God and the Bible can help us in our everyday life – not just a topic that’s far out there, not relevant to us – discover that God is someone whom we can meet, and the Bible, a book we can learn from, even integrate into our lives” says Debbie.
All this, alongside coffee, Danish pastries and some good company will hopefully tempt you along to the informal atmosphere of this monthly Café Church at St Peter’s.
Services will be hauled by Heritage Steam – operating from Ruddington to Loughborough Junction (via East Leake) on the Blue Timetable with 10.45, 12.45 and 14.45 departures.
