July Village Market

Our popular monthly market promises a great shopping experience to see stallholders on The Green and a chance to visit our local shops and retailers, too.

This month’s Ruddington Village Market on Saturday July 2nd is scheduled to have 70 traders on The Green from 9.00am until 12.30pm.

The full list of July’s visiting retailers – with their corresponding stall numbers on the map – is shown below.

The monthly market is a project of the award winning Ruddington Village Community Partnership (RVCP).  The market has grown in many ways: initiatives include a Young Entrepreneurs’ Programme (to mentor 16 to 30 year olds into market stall businesses) a partnership with the Trent Bridge Trust’s YouNG Project (to offer under 16s the chance to trade), an electrical repair service in tandem with Illumination Repairs CIC, and locals can ask out about the village by visiting Ruddington Parish Council‘s tent.

Also a regular feature on Market day is a charity stall (at number 54), along with live music and entertainment. Organisers say: “We have music from Ain’ t Misbehavin’ this month as well as a children’s storyteller who’ll be doing three sessions at 10:30am, 11am and 11:30am under the big tree on the green. This month’s charity is ‘Positively Empowered Kids‘ who are all about improving kids’ wellbeing and mental health. They are running a festival in September at Nottingham Racecourse which they will be promoting.” 

There is some extra parking available, as shown above. However, market day is very busy in Ruddington, so residents are encouraged to walk into the village if they can, since spaces are limited in the centre of the village.

For visitors, there’s a new NCT discounted Market Day travel ticket if you come to Ruddington by bus. Village Market organisers say: “We’re super excited to be partnering with Nottingham City Transport to offer 15% off adult and Grouprider tickets on Market Days. All people need to do is scroll down to the NCT Partners category in the Mobile Tickets section of the NCTX Buses app, choose your ticket, enter discount code RUDDMARKET, and you’re good to go!”
