HEARING AID CLINICS. The free Hearing Aid Clinics run by Laura Ainsworth from The Ear Foundation continue on the second Tuesday of the month in Normanton Village Hall between 2pm and 3pm. The next clinic will be Tuesday, 11th February.

COMMUNITY SHOP. The Normanton-on-Soar store is a small, well-stocked shop run by a group of volunteers, many of whom are not village residents but who offer their invaluable help.

As well as selling a wide range of products, the community store, located behind the Village Hall, serves refreshments and is a regular stop for cycling and walking parties as well as many visitors to Normanton. Alongside this, the shop acts as a general meeting place for small groups with shared interests including a weekly Scrabble match held on Monday afternoons.

Volunteers are always needed, particularly around holiday times. If you could spare an hour here and there please call 01509 646464 or pop along to the shop and have a chat and a cuppa! (Opening hours: Monday to Friday 10am - 1pm and 2pm - 5pm. Saturday 10am - 1pm.)
