Blooming brilliant! Village celebrates four awards
Retford Times
|October 16, 2025
ONE of the smallest villages in Bassetlaw is celebrating after scooping four prestigious awards at this year's East Midlands in Bloom competition, judged in July.
Ranby was named Winner of the Small Village Category, the most improved entrant, the special judges award and Ranby C of E Primary School won the Young Persons Award.
Local enthusiasts in Ranby felt it was quite special for such a tiny place and want people to get to know the village as a place where heritage, nature, and people come together. Now the team is working towards next year's awards with ongoing projects at the churchyard, school, and Fun Field.
Residents of Ranby have worked hard this year to create year-round interest in the feature flowerbeds.
