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 Lunch Club Celebrates 10th Birthday!

As MVP Lunch Club has been running for ten years now, volunteers and guests thought this was a perfect opportunity for a party.

See us singing...

Happy Birthday!

 

Supported by Wokefield Estate (who donated the birthday cake) and Budgens, 28 lunch guests and ten volunteers celebrated ten years and many, many bowls of soup. Looking back at our ten years we remembered trips out on the river, garden centres and wildlife parks, seaside and fish and chips. We remember past friends and rejoiced at the friendships we have all made - guests and volunteers alike. We are all so very thankful for all the support Lunch Club has (and continues to get) from our local community, both individuals and business; for all our volunteers who give their time each month, for the companies such as The Elm Tree, Budgens and Wokefield Estate that give practical year round support,  to the donations of time and services when we are in need from supporters such as DJ  Travel and TK Travel. And last but certainly not least to the wonderful staff of St John's School that bring the children to chat, read and sing to our lunch guests. Happy Birthday Lunch Club.
