"Part of Warwick's History for nearly 700 years!!"
18th/19th & 25th/26th Oct 2024
COMPETITIONS AND FUNDRAISING
COLOURING COMPETITION
Each year Warwick Mop Fair works with local schools. Once again Warwick children had the opportunity to enter a colouring competition to win free rides on Mop day, along with a host of other goodies. We’d like to thank everyone who entered and congratulate the four winners and four runners up!
Once again we’ve had a very large response from local school children and the Mayor commented that choosing the winners was one of the hardest tasks she’d had so far!
MAYORS CHARITY
The proceeds of the auction for the first slice of meat from the pig roast is donated to the Mayor's Charity. Each year other charitable activities are carried out. In this picture the Town Crier and one of the showmen were sponsored by the Mop organiser to ride the reverse bungee. This saw them catapulted into the air, high above the building in Warwick's town centre.
CHILDRENS COMMENTS ON ENTRY FORMS
We’d like to give a special thank you to Taj & Raj Dhillon from Warwick News and Wine for displaying the winner’s pictures in their shop window for the duration of the fair, they’re open into the evening during the two Mop Fairs should anyone wish to pop along and see the pictures.
