Be a super hero for the day in Mexborough

Super Hero Day takes place on Saturday, July 28, and everyone is invited to get involved.

Following the success of last year's event which was attended by circa 2,000 people, the newly established Mexborough Events Committee Inclusive (MECI) have been working hard behind the scenes to put on another fabulous family day in the town.

The Sentinel Squad are supporting again with lots of popular Super Heroes walking around town into shops and cafes with the opportunity of a 'selfie' with your favourite character!

There will also be Sarah the Princess Impersonator and friends plus a Super Hero Design Poster competition and Treasure Hunt for children/families to enjoy.

Entertainment will also include various Tuby's fairground rides, face painting, ice cream, food stalls, tombola and lots of pop-up stalls for local businesses and charity groups to raise funds for their respective organisations e.g. British Legion, Mexborough Heritage, Guides & Brownies, Cosy Cinema, MexCraft etc & lots, lots more!

There are currently two fab raffles now in place - one for Montagu Hospital Comfort Fund (special raffle with donated & signed Bully's and darts from Dennis Priestley & signed boxing glove & t-shirt from Tommy Joyce MBE) plus a main raffle with all proceeds going towards future MECI events.

All £10 stall bookings for stalls/gazebos on the day will also be donated to Montagu Hospital Comfort Fund.

Please get your raffle tickets now just 20p per ticket (£1 a strip) at Wetherspoon's, Tea or Coffee on High Street & Casper's Coffee House on Bank Street and also available on day.

Councillor Sean Gibbons, Chair of MECi said: "This is our second 'Super Hero Day' in Mexborough following the success of last year's inaugural event. The MECi committee have been working hard behind the scenes to put on another fantastic family event in town and it is great that to see so many local residents working so positively together with local businesses, DMBC Stronger Communities & Markets team plus numerous other community partners. We hope that many families join us for a fun packed day in the sunshine."
