Heads Up for Saturday 30th November at Abingdon Guildhall
Just to let you’all know that Stert Street in Abingdon (the road that leads up to the old entrance of the Guildhall from Vine Street traffic lights) is closed from 11.30am to 1pm to accommodate a Christmas parade!
Everyone loves a Bargain!
If you are thinking of coming along to either of our events in November, here is a flyer for 50p off entry.
November Again!
Our last two events of the year are back on familiar territory with a return visit to the Lakeside Suite at the wonderful Millets Farm Centre on Saturday 23rd November and back in the heart of Abingdon at the historic Guildhall on Saturday 30th November.
Ruby’s at Hughenden Manor’s 1940s Weekend 14th & 15th September
(Lyn) This is one of my favourite events in that there is lots going on in a beautiful and historical setting and it is full of beautifully and authentically dressed re-enactors as well as enthusiastic families all enjoying a well organised day out.
A Bit Cooler at Millets Farm Centre
Those of you who follow us will know that the previous 2 years when we have held our weekend event here in July, the weather has been absolutely scorching making the marquee into a bit of a sauna.
Shiny Medals and Sandhurst
Sunday 16th June saw us back in the vintage marquee at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst’s Open Day.
Back to the Guildhall
Ruby’s was delighted to return to this fine old historic building in the centre of Abingdon last Saturday, 18th May. The building had been closed for refurbishment and this also meant that we could not use the main Abbey Room as we had done in previous years. But we were able to use two of the oldest rooms in the building to showcase the finest of true vintage and the best of good retro to the good people of the town and beyond.
