REVIVALreturns thisAugust

MOUNTSORREL REVIVAL is the annual, free-to-visit, village festival of fun and it's back again for 2023 on Sunday August 13.

With a parade, fun run, stalls, food, village competitions, dog show, attractions and activities for all ages, themed areas, lots of music everywhere and much more, there’s something for all the family.

The event is organised by volunteers from the Mountsorrel Community Team (MCT).

Spokeswoman Caroline Moss said: “REVIVAL

2022 was the best attended, and some said the best yet! With thousands of visitors from Mountsorrel and surrounding areas, it’s one of the highlights of the village calendar. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive for 2022, and this year we’re working hard to make REVIVAL 2023 even better.

“The REVIVAL festival brings Mountsorrel alive. The fun is spread along the centre of the village on the Memorial Cricket Field, the Leisure Centre car park, in the Mountsorrel Memorial Centre, the Village

Green, the Buttermarket and all along the streets to the Waterside pub and The Swan.”

Entertainment already confirmed include burlesque dancers, Bhangra dancers, brass band, model railways, children climbing wall, steel band, dog show, Sambando drums, Quorn Ukulele, children’s funfair rides, face painting, laser quest, donkey rides, archery and much more.

Caroline said: “REVIVAL starts with the parade, a spectacle of music, dancers, vintage vehicles and community groups. Would your group like to be part of the parade? Get in touch. This year we are working closely with the Mountsorrel Community Craft Project to create banners for the parade. We want to build on each year, helping grow our parade with banners to represent all parts of Mountsorrel. Do you want to make a banner for your group? Would you like to help make a banner? There’s lots more information on the Mountsorrel Community Craft Project Facebook page, or you can get in touch with the Mountsorrel Community Team.”

If you would like to be a part of the Mountsorrel REVIVAL, there are so many ways to join in.

Caroline said:

“You can be an event sponsor or just place an advert in our event programme. You could be a volunteer on the day – there are lots of jobs, and you can give as little as an hour of your time. You could be in the parade or help make parade banners. You can enter our competitions on the day, or you can just come along and join in the fun.”
