Our café will not be fully opened until Covid-19 restrictions have been significantly relaxed – and who knows when that will be?! There is simply not the space in the shop to maintain any sort of social distancing if we try to operate the café and the shop together at this moment in time.

We do, however, still have lots of cold drinks and a range of ice creams and snacks to take away or eat outside.

We cannot do hot drink takeaways for the time being due to restrictions behind the counter and in order to keep the flow for customers without causing big queues but we will keep this under review.

Following latest government guidance, we have now closed the cafe area of the shop until further notice. Tea, coffee and pre-packed biscuits will still be available to take away.

It is our aim to keep the shop open in the village to provide you with supplies during this time.

It may not always be full opening hours or fully stocked but we will do our best.

We will follow government guidance and up-to-date shop announcements will be made via social media or a poster in the shop window.

We need to keep the shop as safe as possible. So, please do not come in the shop if you have coronavirus symptoms of a persistent cough or high temperature or if have been in close contact with someone who has symptoms or has been told to self-isolate.

Please follow the government guidelines for self-isolation and keep up with regular hand washing.

If you need support during self-isolation, the shop is also part of a newly formed village group working to help the village during the coronavirus outbreak.

We can offer a delivery service to those needing to self-isolate, just ring
the shop on 01759 369 774 or email bwvillagegroup@gmail.com

If you need assistance in getting items from Pocklington, please contact  Sarah Berry on 01759 368 606 or email bwvillagegroup@gmail.com

Rev Linda Munt is happy to collect prescriptions, and although church
services have regrettably had to be suspended, Linda is always available
for a chat. Please call 01759 369 974.

Derek Black is available to help with odd jobs. Feel free to get in touch via  the vicarage on 01759 369 974.

Due to the coronavirus restrictions currently in place across the country, it is not possible for this event to go ahead.

It’s disappointing but we believe that it’s the right thing to do in the situation. I’m sure we’ll plan another event when all this is over.

Following the Government’s guidance on public gatherings during the coronavirus outbreak, the management committee has decided to postpone the Annual Members’ Meeting that had been scheduled for 31 March 2020.  We now propose to hold the Annual Members’ meeting towards the end of 2020.

We have taken this decision as we feel it is our responsibility to support national efforts to control and minimise the spread of the illness. We also want to be sure that all those members who would wish to come to the meeting are not discouraged by concerns about risks to their health.

We’ve had a very busy and successful first week in the shop. Thank you very much to all of the volunteers who have worked their first shifts – you have done incredibly well!

Our opening times are:
Monday – Friday 7.30am–7pm
Saturdays 8.30am–5pm
Sundays 8.30am–4pm

We are looking forward to seeing you!

We cannot open before Christmas but we can start selling and get into the Christmas Spirit!

Following a specific request from a Bishop Wilton resident, in the run up to Christmas we are going to be selling some Bishop Wilton Community Shop branded jute bags, reusable drinks bottles and Bishop Wilton own brand red and white wine. The idea is that you could buy a bag and/or some wine and/or a water bottle and then fill the bag (if you wish) with other items (bought elsewhere) to give the filled bags as very special Christmas presents to your friends and family!

The bags and the water bottles both cost £4.50 and the wine costs £8.50. Solve your Christmas present dilemmas and get ordering!

You can order by e mailing bishopwiltonshop@gmail.com or filling in this order form and dropping in to Louise at 2 Main Street.

The bags and bottles will also be available to buy, collect or order at the Christmas Bazaar (Village Hall) on Saturday 30^th November where there will be a Community Shop stall and at our Christmas Fayre.
