Stratford Mop gears up to sweep into town

WHITE-knuckle rides, candyfloss and all the fun of the fair are ready to descend on Stratford.

The annual Mop Fair will transform the town centre into a thrill-seeker’s paradise on Friday October 11 and Saturday October 12.

Rides, including the 127-year-old Golden Carousel, as well as some more up-to-date offerings, will whirr into action on Bridge Street and Rother Street from 3pm on Friday October 11.

And the Mop will be officially opened by Stratford District Council dignitaries on Saturday October 12 at 11am.




Other attractions will include the traditional pig roast, provided by local Scouts at the end of Waterside, along with the charity auction of the first slice.

One of the biggest changes to the rides and attractions in recent years has been the integration of eye-catching LED displays, which really come into their own as the nights draw in at this time of year. These super bright lights actually consume far less power than the old-style filament bulbs they replace.


For those dare-devils after another fairground fix – the runaway mop comes to the town on Friday October 25 and Saturday October 26.
