Rutland Park Farm and Daphne's Tea Room: A Delightful Day Out, here in Oakham Rutland

Rutland Park Farm and Daphne's Tea Room: A Delightful Day Out

Rutland Park Farm is a charming escape right on my doorstep in Oakham. The warm welcome from the owner and staff sets the tone for a truly enjoyable visit. It's fascinating to explore a working farm, getting up close with the various animals. The footpath is well-laid out, making it easy to wander through the farm and even discover a peaceful woodland area.

After a leisurely stroll, Daphne's Tea Room is the perfect spot to relax and refuel. The delicious cakes and other treats are a delightful treat, and the gift shop offers a lovely selection of souvenirs, including the local Rutland Honey made here in Oakham - a must-buy for any foodie!

With the sun shining, it's hard to beat spending an afternoon surrounded by nature and friendly animals. A perfect day out!

The Central England Co-op has announced plans for a new members-only gym at its Burley Road store in Oakham. This initiative comes as part of the Society's ongoing review to optimise store space and better serve the needs of its members and the local community.

The Co-op say they would be Utilising Surplus Space for Community Benefit

An internal review identified underutilised space within the Burley Road store. Following a marketing effort, the Co-op has agreed to lease this space to Method Health Club Ltd. for the development of a new gym facility.

The Co-op highlights Benefits for Oakham Residents

This new gym will provide Oakham residents with an additional option for their fitness needs. Importantly, it will achieve this without altering the existing building's structure or impacting the surrounding environment.

The gym will be situated entirely within the existing Co-op supermarket building and utilise the existing car park and service areas. Additionally, the out-of-town location avoids placing any extra strain on the already busy town center infrastructure.

The Co-op say its a Mutually Beneficial Partnership

The Central England Co-op believes this partnership with Method Health Club Ltd. will be beneficial for all parties involved.
