Due to extremely high winds forecast with Storm Darragh this Saturday’s Ruddington market has been cancelled.
Organisers said:
‘This is not something we take lightly – we know just how important December markets are to indie traders, and how they are a highlight in the festive calendar.
‘A decision like this affects so many people, but with amber warnings of 50mph to 60mph gusts making their way in, safety must absolutely come first – for our visitors, stallholders, and of course, our brilliant volunteers.
Our thoughts go out to the teams at The Heart at Ruddington and The White Horse Ruddington too, who have worked hard to get ready for their Christmas markets, also planned for this Saturday, but join us in putting safety first and making the painful decision to cancel.’
Still, there’s plenty of indoor events to visit here in Rudd this Saturday:
Christmas Fayre, Framework Knitters Museum, 10am-6pm – just a short hop over the road from our usual home, the Framework Knitters team transform the Chapel into a Christmas Fayre. Grab a hot drink and a sit down at Parker’s Yard while you’re there.
Christmas Open Day, St Peter’s Church, 9am-4pm – the stunning St Peter’s Church, Ruddington, opens its doors to share some Christmas spirit, with refreshments, homemade cakes, a local art exhibition, craft stalls, children’s activities, and live music.
Christmas Craft Market, St Peter’s Rooms, 9am-4pm – the Ruddington Handmade Craft Market gang continues their monthly St Peter’s Rooms residency with a special Christmas Craft Market, packed with fabulous stalls and bursting with beautiful Christmas gift ideas.
As always, our fabulous indie high street will be here for you – shops, cafés, and pubs all opening their doors with a smile to get you warmed up.’
