The last few months have been difficult (and continue to be) for everyone for obvious reasons. Whilst some locals have been making face masks and PPE, groups such as RammyMen have been helping with shopping and many other things and our local restaurants have been feeding the needy and those hardworking NHS staff and homeless on the frontline.

Glen Duckett from the Eagle and Child got in touch a few weeks back to let me know some of the fantastic things themselves and others have been doing to help:

We are currently sending out prepared meals each week working with
Mary-Ellen McTague, who established #McrFoodInitiative which aims to
feed the NHS workers and vulnerable people, such as the homeless and
family members of those in hospital or care.

Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival organisers have taken the initiative to postpone the Chocolate Festival for Ramsbottom 2020.

The event, which was due to take place on the 4th and 5th of April would have been the 11th annual chocolate festival, which is one of the biggest events that take place in Ramsbottom.

A full statement has been posted to the Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival Facebook Page:

If you’ve been pining for for pastry treats since the loss of Bartisserie in Ramsbottom, well you might just be in luck.

Businesses in Ramsbottom come and go, it’s sad that we have to lose one for another to come in, especially when some of the businesses have been around for decades.

This time, we lost Zara Cakes having originally opened in March 2019 but what is going to come in April this year is called La Petite Patisserie.
