They sometimes run out of papers quite early in the day, so if you want a particular one make sure you either reserve a copy, have it delivered or get to the shop early. It carries a small range of other essential groceries, and so is good for last minute goods, but don't expect a huge choice or much variety. The shop is located on the main road and has its own parking area.

There is also a branch at Ripley, and you can drop documents off there to be sent through to South Normanton and vice versa. The offices are clean if a little dated. They maintain regular contact and I was given two different people to contact so it meant I was always able to talk to someone when I called. They are chatty without taking too much time up. The parking is limited, but works well as it usually by appointment only.

Look out for wild mushrooms, cured meats, honey, jams, sausages and sausage butties, cakes, hand-made toiletries, craft beer and more. The prices are generally fair for the quality and the hard-working stall holders deserve the constant stream of customers, from the local area and a little further afield. Tasting is usually an option before you buy which is always a good sign. Overall, a great use of the space, and a great way to get consumers in touch with farmers and cottage industry products.

There's a good selection of organic produce, and free range meat and you can pick up honey, yummy cakes, and smelly soaps too. Strangely for a farmers market there's not a lot of veg. Around Christmas time they do a nice craft fair. Take your own bags, because you get some funny looks if you ask for a carrier bag.

I visited Wild Park Leisure to take part in paintballing and quad biking. It was a really fun day!…read moreIt is situated in the heart of Derbyshire but only 10 minutes from the City of Derby in the village of Brailsford just off the A52. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. There are excellent facilities on site including separate changing rooms with hot showers, washrooms and toilets. There is a large car park right outside the main building which is also suitable for coaches. There are many different areas where the paintballing takes place, each with different terrain. The equipment and guides are excellent - always ensuring that you are aware of the safety procedures. The canteen where you have your food is comfortable enought - if you opt for the food, it is pretty basic stuff. The quad biking was really enjoyable - don't be afraid if you've never done it before, as all ages and abilities are catered for. Really enjoyed it, so I would defininitely recommend it.

Cut price books welcome you as you enter and there's always a bargain to be had, particularly on the natural history and cookery books. It is also has the usual range of stationery and vast range of cards, for every possible occasion you can think of. This particular 'smiths has a good range of cut price DVDs and occasionally CDs, where you can always pick up a bargain. The chart DVDs and CDs though are seriously overpriced, compared to internet retailers. The magazine section is comprehensive for such a small shop, so if theres a magazine you're looking for, you'll probably get it here. A great local shop and a must visit, when we're in Ashby.
