In response the coronavirus pandemic, a system of hubs has been set up to provide a mechanism both to facilitate delivery of items whilst minimising movement and to share information. Over the last year the Muker hub has provided updates on information through email, blogs and on this page of the www.mukerorg.com web-site where this is feasible, or through telephone contact. This page has been updated on 13 May 2021.
The Physical Hub in Muker remains the Village Shop which can be used as a drop-off/pick-up point for items. Their core opening times are Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings 10.00 – 16.00. The shop will be closed on Wednesdays and operating on a weather dependant ‘pop up’ basis Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The Village Store will be offering take-away cakes, sandwiches and hot drinks. Daily and Sunday papers will continue to arrive and should be collected from the box outside the shop.
The Hub in Keld remains Butt House which can be used as a contact and drop off/pick up point. Contact Jacqui & Chris on 01748 886374
The Farmers Arms is back up and running with Covid measures in place. Opening times are 12pm to closing, Tuesday to Sunday (plus Bank Holiday Mondays), with food served 12pm to 4pm and 5.30pm to 8.30pm. From 17th May diners and drinkers will be welcome inside.
