Mortimer Fun Day Back for 2025

After a seven-year hiatus, the ever-popular Mortimer Fun Day will return on Saturday 05 July. 

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.

MVP Queen's Diamond Jubilee Quiz Quest

MVP organised a Quiz Quest around the village in honour of the Queen's Jubilee (and to provide some extra fun over half-term!). A set of questions could be downloaded from this website and "royal" themed clues led through a walk round the centre of Mortimer, resulting in answers which could be entered via the website for a chance to win a prize. Some additional fun was provided by looking for "royal" pictures drawn by St. Mary's School children and hidden around the village. These included a number of corgis in one front garden! While on the walk it was possible to take a family "royal" photos using the tableau located in the Horse and Groom garden. You can see all the Royal portraits here.

The winners of the Quiz Quest are: 

  • First Prize - Paul Masters
  • Second Prize - Louise O'Hara
  • Third Prize - Steve Audsley

Thank you to everyone who took part.
