You may or may not have heard of the planned SMPC VE75 commemoration which unfortunately had to be cancelled in May 2020 has now been rolled into “The Queens Platinum 70th Jubilee” (not – for profit) on the weekend of Friday 3rd evening & all day Saturday 4th June 2022. Put the Date in your Diary for the extra special Bank Holiday weekend! Not to be missed on Mortimer Fairground.
There are HGV low loaders for local organisations, businesses, clubs, schools etc to transform into decorated floats all based around the theme “Queen”. So get your thinking heads on and apply for a float totally free of charge and be part of the carnival procession around the Village of Mortimer with prizes for the best dressed and loudest float.
The Royal Occasion will be Free Entry with a varied mix of music, food outlets, licensed bars, refreshments, fun fair, side shows and local stalls. The Epsom Derby will be screened live on the Saturday along with a sports day (to coincide with 2022 Commonwealth games being held in Britain) for the children and competitive adults, tug–o-war, sack race, egg & spoon race, wheel barrow and many more.
It will round off with tribute bands on Saturday night under a massive Big Top marquee. It’s going to be a BIG ONE on a special weekend for the village of Mortimer with a professional pyrotechnics display wrapping up the party on Saturday evening.
