Message to customers (updated 23 July): From 24 July, it will be compulsory for customers to wear a face covering such as a mask, scarf or visor that covers the mouth and nose. Some exemptions apply. The shop has the right to refuse entry to anyone not wearing a face covering. More about the new rules

We still need to close early at 2 pm. We continue to review the situation as restrictions are eased and more volunteers feel able to return to working in the shop. We are currently using the time in the afternoon once the shop has closed to clean and stock shelves, as this is difficult to do when the shop is open while maintaining safe distancing. We will endeavour to return to normal opening times as soon as possible. 

To maintain social distancing we’re limiting the number of people in the shop at any one time to two and asking customers to queue two metres away from the edge of the counter until it is their turn to pay. We’ve now got a ‘traffic light’ system on the door that tells people whether they can come in straight away or need to wait.

We’re very grateful to the team of door ‘stewards’ – originally volunteers from Radley College and since 13 April from SERV (Supporting Everyone in Radley Village) – for all their help over the past weeks. We couldn’t have managed without you.
