Ruddington Village ‘Virtual’ Market

Now into its second year, Ruddington’s Village Marketusually takes place on the first Saturday of each month at The White Horse Inn. It’s aninitiative jointly run by the pub alongside volunteers from the award-winning Ruddington Village Centre Partnership.
After holding the March 2020 market as usual, organisers decided to suspend the event until further notice in the interests of public health and safetydue to theCOVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak. However, TODAY- when the next market should have been happening – a selection of its usual stall holders are using the magic of ‘Instagram Live’ to reach customersat home instead.
RVCP has hand picked a lineup of nine shops, cafes, pubs and stalls that they’ll be chatting to – and going behind the scenes with. AND you’ll be able to comment and post questions in screen as the webcast goes along.
If you’re not already on Instagram, to join in you’ll first have to download the app, sign up and then log on from midday to ‘Instagram Live’ viahttps://www.instagram.com/ruddingtonvillagemarket/- then just tap the Ruddington Village Market profile picture on your Instagram app to watch.
