What on earth is a 'Mop Fair' ?
ST, Locally, in October the ‘Mop’ Fair comes to the Marketplace in town. It is a local tradition that has gone on for years and years.
The fairground is pitched up on Friday evening to open on Saturday morning. The Mayor opens it and the Town Crier reads, the Mop Charter. They have the traditional Pig Roast and the Mayor allows free rides for a short time.
Most of it is taken down the next day but erected again, the following Friday until Saturday night. This is referred to as the ‘Runaway Mop’.
By Sunday, they are gone and the shopkeepers are happy again to get back to ‘business as usual’!
