About
The Bugle is about shops & businesses that normally open their doors to the public.
It started up ten days into the first Lockdown
when so much was so uncertain. About 16 shops were open in those early days.
Wallingford's local shops & businesses were, and still are, truly amazing. They adapted to the situation and continued to keep us going.
Eventually, by August, 116 shops, businesses & organisations (not including pubs) had their doors open. Here is the list of them
So the Bugle, having been visited by over 3,300 people, went into hibernation..... currently its had over 4,000 visitors since its launch.

12th April, Oxfordshire is now easing out of Lockdown. This website will be updated. Non-essential shops are opening up.
updated: 16 Apr 2021

...tap the bugle ...
The Bugle is not a business or advertising agency.
Its purpose is purely to keep us informed
throughout Covid 19 pandemic restrictions,
so that shopping can be planned,
saving unneccessary car/bus trips to/from surrounding villages
or walking to/from Wallingford town centre.
Updates will happen during and at end of most weeks.
Please share this website around. Share on Facebook, WhatsApp, wherever.
Each page will print out nicely if you know anyone without internet.
Do please email me if I've left anyone out or anything needs correcting/changing.
