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:

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.

Mortimer celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

A weekend jubilee party organised by the Parish Council (with assistance from many people and organisations within the village and beyond) proved a tremendous success. The event started on the evening of Thursday 2nd June with the lighting of the beacon, followed by a burlesque show entitled Moulin Mortimer on Friday evening. ‘Never seen that in Mortimer before’ was a frequent comment from the audience but the skill and imagination of the performers was much appreciated.

Saturday kicked off with a grand parade through the village; led by pipers and followed by local youth organisations and a fine selection of vehicles ranging from sports cars both old and new to vintage military and commercial vehicles.

Following the procession a huge crowd of people moved onto the fairground where they were treated to an afternoon of events and music. Not forgetting a wonderfully low flypast by an RAF Lancaster stirring memories for the older generation and admiration and applause from all.
