Yarpole Community Shop celebrates 20 years. See the videos below!
What a hot summer we have enjoyed!
The shop has been frequented by many holiday makers who have chosen to stay in the UK rather than travel abroad and they have been delighted to find our wide range of grocery essentials as well as more artisan and local products.
Several commented how they had assumed the shop would be more expensive than the supermarket and were delighted to find the prices were comparable - and even happily cheaper in some instances!
Keeping guests happy
Our delivery service continues to be quietly popular and we have been pleased to have some of the owners of the holiday homes book a regular welcome box to have ready for their guests’ arrival. If you would find it convenient to have your shopping, or even just a pint of milk, delivered - or indeed would like to have a few items put together to welcome your guests - then do e-mail the shop with your request or simply leave your contact details and we will contact you to arrange details:
Many guests also find the idea of a community run shop, not to mention a café and pub, very intriguing and often make a point of investigating - to the benefit of all.
A financial challenge
Please remember that if you have ventured abroad this year and have left-over currency do consider donating any coins - or even notes! - that you didn’t spend on your holiday as we collect in the shop and pass it to the British Airways One World Alliance where it goes to help children all around the world. Thank you to Gordon and Sandy Ewing who delivered the last collected donation on behalf of the village. The staff at BA were very impressed by the amount we had raised and made a special mention to the wider community of Yarpole in their briefing that day - so thank you to all, and let's see how much we can raise this year!
Another money-related challenge
Please remember that we are still looking for somebody to assume the role of treasurer for us from next June. If this vital role is one you could help us fulfil we would love to hear from you. The sooner the better really as, although the vacancy is not imminent, it would give us longer for you to learn the ropes. Please let our current treasurer, Toby, know, via the shop, or Jon at
