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.

Mortimer Lunch Club Still Partying!

We all know December is packed with Christmas events so this year MVP Lunch Club decided to hold a post Christmas party in January. 44 people sat down for a lovely lunch provided by Julia Mills and her son Ben. Sian Nelson asked our community via the BuyNothingMortimer Facebook group for donations both for a raffle and for gifts for our lunch guests. We were delighted to find that the people of this community rose to the occasion with generous offerings for everyone and a brilliant raffle too. Music was once more provided by Brian Bicknell which got us singing to familiar tunes and even some dancing ! Our huge thanks must go to everyone who supports our lunch club from the volunteers who donate their time twice a month, to the businesses who donate both food and services and to everyone who gives a little in appreciation of our older community members. Happy New Year everyone
