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.

Dick Whittington Storms Mortimer ! Dec 2016

St. John's Hall rang to shouts of "Behind You" and "Oh, yes, he is!" when a professional performance of Dick Whittington took place on 21st December.  This was MVP's first foray into promoting a pantomime and from the amount of noise - from big 'kids' and small alike - I think that it was safe to say that everyone had a great time. Pyramid Productions were very professional and as a company who normally plays to schools etc. they thoroughly enjoyed playing to a mixed age audience! Let's hope that we can book them again for next year. MVP was able to keep the price of tickets as low as possible by subsidising them with some of the profits from the Scarecrow Trail.

Thanks to everyone who supported it - both audience and volunteers running the bar etc. A camera case was found at the end of the performance; please contact Lynn Hannawin on lynn@i-next.co.uk if it is yours.
