There are plenty of reasons to shop at Longden Village Stores in April.

In February, we bundled together a Valentine’s card, a box of chocolates, and a bottle of bubbly all for a remarkable price, starting at only £15.00 for the three! It was so well liked by our customers that we are giving you the opportunity to enjoy a similar offer for that special Mum or even yourself! Just pop into the shop, and Bev and the team will take you through what’s available.

Everything You Need For Mothers Day

It could be that you are reading this article prior to Mother’s Day, and wondering what to give, or receive, at the end of March. In that case, may I recommend a trip to your local village store? We have beautiful cards, some lovely confectionery, and, if it’s what’s wanted, bottles of fizz that will be perfect for either celebration.

Easter Ideas

When it comes to Easter, if you are looking for gifts that are a bit different from the usual supermarket fare, yet won’t break the bank, then we have some great ideas. If you plan a special meal for the Easter weekend, why not make a choice from our premium butchers, Hough’s of Church Stretton, and pair this with some lovely fresh vegetables, by Handy Veg of Shrewsbury?

When you shop with us, not only do you choose high quality, locally produced products, you support local businesses and farmers too.

Tankerville Arms Progress

A quick update about the Tankerville, we’re working flat out to completely refurbish your local pub before reopening. It’s going to take longer than we thought, but we are doing all we can, and I’m sure the wait will be worth it.

In the meantime, a very Happy Easter from all of us at Longden Village Stores.
