Mop Fair 2026

On Saturday, 9 October our Mayor, Councillor Mark Luson was invited by the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain to open the Little Mop fair in Marlborough High Street.

By tradition, he then toured the fair and children could ride for free with the Mayor.  

Our thanks to the Showmen's Guild for organising another wonderful Mop Fair.
