April Village Market

Ruddington Village Marketreturns this April after a three month break during the latest national Coronavirus ‘lockdown’.
Although organisers from the award-winning Ruddington Village Centre Partnership (RVCP)could have continued with ‘essential’ traders only throughout this period, it was paused again as a safety precaution in February and March because of the large number of visitors it usually attracts.
Remaining restrictions mean its return today(Saturday 3rd April)will still only be with around forty essential stalls but with theGovernment’s ‘roadmap’ paving the way for a ‘normal’ market again by May, if all goes according to plan. As usual it will runfrom 9.00am to 12.30pm.
Volunteers at the last (Christmas) market were celebrating both their Celebrating Rushcliffe Award win and £5K funding boost!
Organisers promise that all COVID-secure measures such as metre-spaced stalls and separate, coned queue lines will again be in place, plus hand sanitiser stations dotted around the market, and all traders and volunteers being asked to mask-up for your (and their) safety. However, non-essential retailers, pubsand cafes in Ruddington village centre will either remain closed or open only for takeaways.
