May Village Market
Organised by Ruddington Village Community Partnership (RVCP), Ruddington Village Market is held on the first Saturday of each month from 9am to 2pm.
Since it was launched in February 2019, the open market has become a magnet for shoppers from our village as well as much further afield. There’s a large variety of stalls on The Green plus chance to visit Ruddington’s many local shops and retailers.
On Saturday 4th May you can expect over seventy-five traders alongside other stalls and stands on the village green. Among these will be the ‘Market Bar’ and Ruddington Parish Council; sharing their latest news and chatting to villagers about any areas of concern. There’ll be RVCP’s monthly charity which is Maggie’s cancer support with entertainment on the ‘live’ music stage, as ‘The Cellotapes’ return and a new band to the market is ‘Jelly’.
Here’s the full list of this month’s visiting retailers, corresponding to the stall numbers on the map below:
The White Horse on Church Street – the Village Market’s original venue – is staging its usual smaller market on the same date – running from 9am to 2pm.
Market days are usually very busy in Ruddington, with parking spaces rather limited in the village centre, so residents are asked to walk there, if you are able.
Visitors from further afield, who live close enough to a Nottingham City Transport bus route, are encouraged to use public transport via a special, discounted Market Day travel ticket. NCT offers 15% off adult and Grouprider tickets on Market Days. All you 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’ll get the reduced fare.
Failing that, if you really do need to come to Ruddington by car, drivers are asked to avoid parking in our village centre and instead navigate to postcode NG11 6JS to make use of the street parking available at Ruddington Fields Business Park or pay just £1.50 to park up to three hours (then it’s £3 for over 3-hours) in the Rushcliffe Country Park car park. From there it’s around a 10-minute walk along Elms Park to Ruddington Village Market along the route shown below. Alternatively there’ll also be a shuttle bus running from Mere Way at 20-minute intervals to get you to the market and back.
Have a #RuddyGoodDayOut!
