September Village Market
Held on the first Saturday of each month, Ruddington Village Market features a huge variety of stalls on The Green. Market day is a great chance to stroll around and also visit Ruddington’s many local shops and businesses.
On Saturday 2nd September, almost eighty visiting traders are expected from 9am until 2pm on our village green. The full listing of these retailers, with their corresponding stall numbers, 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 about the village by visiting Ruddington Parish Council‘s tent. Councillors welcome your ideas or concerns for the local area, and can tell you more about what’s coming up in Ruddington.
Market organisers reveal: “We also have the Notts & District Guild of Handspinners, Weavers & Dyers. They will be promoting the crafts of hand spinning, weaving and dyeing by showcasing members’ work. Volunteers will be demonstrating spinning and there will be at least one loom set up for visitors to have a go on.”
For September, live music comes from Mark James and also Chai Larden returns. Save The Children (Stall 66) is charity of the month and it’ll be running a bric ‘n’ brac stall and a kids’ lucky dip.
The White Horse on Church Street – the Village Market’s original venue – is also staging its usual smaller market on the same date – running from 9am to 2pm.
