Look out for the ‘Vintage’ signs, handmade by the Men’s Shed, displayed in certain shops in Ross-on-Wye. They indicate all of the shops and businesses that make up the new Vintage Shopping Trail.

Eighteen specialist independent shops, and one ‘old-world’ tea room have go together to publicise themselves and encourage visitors to the town, as well as locals to try to see them all.

Leaflets for the trail are available now, and include a map, the location of each vintage shop, and details about them.

The Ross-on-Wye Tourism Association (RTA) has organised this trail, and they hope it will enable shoppers to explore all of the businesses in Ross which sell repurposed, pre-loved, vintage, antique or retro items.

Leaflets can be picked up at any of the Tourist Information Sites, such as Truffles or Made in Ross at the Market House.

Further information about the trail can be found online at: visitrossonwye.com.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
