If you’re into arts and crafts, or enjoy buying gifts for family and friends, you’ll want to hear about Ruddington Pop Up Boutique. It’s a group of local businesses who sell their wares through word of mouth and through gift fairs and product parties. And, as the name suggests, stalls and events can be seen ‘popping up’ in and around Ruddington at regular intervals. The high quality products on offer include craft and gift items, jewellery, luxury toiletries, cakes, chocolates, seasonal items and much more.
The next Ruddington Pop Up Boutique will be held on Saturday 12 April, when stall-holders will be displaying their wares at the Hermitage on Wilford Road from 12 noon to 2pm. As the organisation’s main spring shopping event, you can expect to find all kinds of Easter-themed treats, gifts for birthdays and anniversaries, and personalised products you won’t find anywhere else. After that, several more events are planned for the rest of 2014 so there will lots of opportunities to keep buying locally.
For more information and for details of all their events, please visit the Ruddington Pop Up Boutique Facebook page. If you’re interested in manning a stall at one of their future events, you can email ruddpopupboutique@gmail.com.
