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 goes to Wokefield Park

Another fabulous Christmas event for the MVP Lunch Club. The staff of BMW picked up 30 people, dressed In their finery, from their homes in their cars and took them down to Wokefield Park where the staff were waiting to greet them. With light music provided by the grandson of one of our lunch club regulars as a surprise, we all tucked into our turkey dinner. Our lunch guests were also delighted by a surprise visitor - Santa Claus - who distributed presents gifted by the staff of Wokefield Estate. Photos of our lunch guests with Santa will be printed so grandchildren can see that Santa visits no matter what your age!
