Debi Greenough, MECi (Mexborough Events Committee inclusive) Chair said “We are really looking forward to this year’s annual summer event in Mexborough and we have got lots of free fun, entertainment and attractions for local families to enjoy as the schools finish for the summer holidays”.

There will be entertainment such as Grimethorpe and District Brass Band, Wath Morris Minors, singing by Hayley 'Sparkle' Browne, DJ, Georgia Galbraith - Stilt Walkers, Uncle Les’s Ice Cream, lots of stalls, tombola, raffle and much much more.

Sean Gibbons, MECi Treasurer said “This year we have made the decision to move the summer gala to the Mexborough Athletic Club/Miners Welfare due to ongoing regeneration works in the town centre.

“We know that many families continue to struggle with the Cost of Living Crisis.

“The MECi committee are therefore providing lots of FREE activities for local children and families e.g. face painting, fun show and free/heavily subsidised Tuby’s fairground rides making it more affordable for local children to enjoy”.
