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 Spring Clean Day - Saturday 22nd March

Thank you and well done to those people who turned out today to take part in the Great Mortimer Spring Clean Litter Pick. We have amassed some big heaps for WBC to pick up on Monday/Tuesday. It would have been even better with more people, so, if your road or favourite area still looks rather litter-ridden, make a note to be sure to take part next year. In the mean time - don't drop litter, pick up litter where and when you can and keep Mortimer tidy.

We promised a prize for the funniest and most useful things found; here are some of the entries.

Is it a slug? No, just part of an exhaust pipe, although the person who found it suggested it could be used as a modern sculpture...

Entry3.jpg

Not a real car, just a rather tired toy one; probably not much play value left.

Entry2.jpg
Another slug? No, a bean bag looking rather sinister
Entry1.jpg
Well, this star item could surely become someone's table lamp? The Most Useful (although it is also rather strange) Prizewinner!
Entry5.jpg
Without doubt the Funniest Item entered, and being only half a pair of knickers, definitely no use at all!
The two prizewinners will receive an Easter Egg; the three runners up shown above will receive some sweets.
