That’s it – third draw down on the right – the one that won’t quite close because it’s overflowing with plastic bags? If that sounds like you, then the Village Shop can help make some useful space in your cupboard – ideal for filling with useful things – like chocolate or beer…

The Village Shop would appreciate any donations of supermarket carrier bags – any supermarket, any quantity, as our reserve supply of “Wills of Rushden” carriers is running perilously low, and they won’t be making anymore of those!

We’ll even take bags from Red or Amber countries if you’ve been lucky enough to sneak off abroad – Intermarche, Super U, Carrefour – will add a touch of glamour to our bag dispenser, though traditionally British brands like Aldi & Lidl are just as welcome!!
