Ruddington’s New Farm Shop

There’s an exciting new development for Ruddington village centre’s retail offer this month – the opening of a brand new farm shop on Church Street! Following positive feedback at their monthly market, from the second week in February The White Horse Inn is teaming up with some top local producers to bring us “a farm shop in a pub” – featuring a variety of stalls outside and in – which will be open every Wednesday to Saturday from 10am to 3pm.

Who’s Open Again in Ruddington?

This week sees another milestone in the UK Government’s easing of COVID-19 Coronavirus restrictions – with non-essential shops added to the list of businesses allowed to reopen, provided they can implement stringent new hygiene and 2 metre ‘social distancing’ requirements to protect customers and staff.

Two Go Into One

If you’ve wandered along Ruddington’s High Street recently and wondered what on earth has happened to Grange Bakery (the old Horspool’s village centre shop) then don’t panic. Following the recent trend for our businesses to move around the corner – it’s moved just around the corner! In fairness, the big sign in the window at the former bakery and the smart new frontage at Grange News should really have given this away to you.
