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 invited to Wokefield Park

Thank you De Vere Venues, Wokefield Park and BMW for a wonderful Christmas gift for our community! 

MVP Lunch Club was treated like royalty when its members were invited by De Vere Venues, Wokefield Park to a special Christmas meal in their honour. 30 elderly people were whisked from their homes by chauffeur-driven car, courtesy of the staff at BMW, to the delightful setting of Wokefield Park where they were treated to a delicious Christmas lunch. Take a look at  the delightful smiles on the faces of our lunch guests to discover how much this treat was appreciated by both the elderly and the volunteers.
