WE WILL REMEMBER THEM – ANNUAL REMEMBRANCE SERVICE
Misterton’s annual Service of Remembrance is on Sunday 10 November at 10.15am in the Parish Church. The short service is followed by procession to the War Memorial where the names of the fallen are read, wreaths are laid by representatives of village organisations, and the Last Post is played. The collection in Church is in aid of the Royal British Legion, which provides year-round support for serving and ex-serving personnel.
The local ‘poppy group’ has made scores of poppies that decorate the gates of the two village churches and the War Memorial with a further display on Windmill Garden.
‘POP-UP’ OPPORTUNITIES TO TRY OUT NEW BUSINESS
Crafters, people starting their own business, and small businesses have the chance to test their trade and experience the world of retail at Worksop’s Priory Shopping Centre. A number of ‘pop-up’ spaces have been made available by Bassetlaw District Council, as part of a low-cost, low-risk introduction to retail on the high street.
Each business will be allocated a space within a shared unit at the centre, with access to full services and amenities, and will join established national retailers and independent retailers, who are already on site.
It comes at an exciting time for the Priory Centre as planning permission has been granted to carry out £20m refurbishment. By 2026, the new and improved shopping centre will also be home to a quality entertainment complex, indoor market, and food court. To arrange a viewing or for more information, contact
