Rufforth Living Advent Calendar

Covid seems to have interfered with lots of the usual village activities so this year Michelle Hills has kindly organised a village living advent calendar; 24 homes will decorate a window of their house revealing it on the relevant date in December.

As you’re walking through the village in December, keep your eyes peeled for the new advent windows opening.

Thank you to Michelle and all who have volunteered to decorate a window.

Buses

Connexions buses have confirmed that all of their services will continue to run normal timetables throughout lockdown to enable travel for keyworkers and those needing travel.
