With six village pubs still at our service in Ruddington we really are spoilt for choice when it comes to drinking and eating – but also for “live” entertainment. In fact the fortnightly Acoustic Music Nights at The Victoria Tavern have been proving so popular that, from November, they’ll be held every week. Meantime Ralph Glover plays blues/rock there on the 14th of October and John Rockliffe returns on the 28th.
There’s also live music every Saturday night at The Red Lion and a 70’s, 80’s & 90’s music disco every Friday.
If YOU fancy being the star turn then The Jolly Farmers is now hosting Karaoke on Wednesday and Friday nights.
The legendary free Thursday night quiz at The White Horse remains very popular. This pub is also CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2012 listed and a Mecca for real ale lovers – hosting the annual Ruddington Beer Festival along with The Three Crowns and The Red Heart. The Red Heart has established itself as THE sports viewing venue in the village with all the big games and fixtures being shown on numerous large screen TVs around the pub.
So make sure you try our “Six of the Best”. Sadly The Bricklayers Arms is still closed and up for lease, but now seems to be undergoing refurbishment – so watch this space! Soon we could be back in seventh heaven….
