The event will be held on Mortimer Fairground and will be hosted by Mortimer Village Partnership (MVP) and Mortimer Music Live (MML). 

For those new to the village, this event has been a beloved tradition for over a decade.  During the day, entrance will be free of charge to all.  Any help you can give in running this event would be really appreciated,  follow this link:  Click to View Volunteer Opportunities on SignUp

You can expect exciting arena acts including a walkabout dinosaur and a thrilling parkour demonstration (see below) alongside local dance, singing and acrobatic groups.  

Classic summer fete activities including coconut shies and welly-wanging will also be happening! Local clubs and societies will be running these activities, giving them a chance to fundraise while connecting with the wider community. And, of course, no Fun Day would be complete without a Beer Tent, offering local beers and a selection of refreshing summer drinks.

Affiliate of the month - August Mortimer West End Annual Show 25th August 2:30 pm

Mortimer West End & District Annual Show is fast approaching! Help make it the biggest show ever by entering lots of items. You can pick up a schedule in local shops or download one here.

The first show was held in a meadow adjoining West End Farm on 22nd July 1902. There were a couple of breaks, particularly after the 2nd world war, but other than that it has been an annual event in the village. It is a proper village show and we include a full range of classes: vegetables, fruit, flowers, handicrafts, photography, art, home made wine, domestic and childrens and use a panel of independent judges who are experts in their individual fields to judge the entries.

Anyone is able to enter and the rules for entry are clearly set out in the schedule. Staging commences at 8.30am on the day of the show and closes at 10.45am. This then allows time for the judging to take place before the show opens to the public at 2.30pm. There are cups as well as prize money to be won and prize giving takes place at 4pm
