The Wimbledon Village Fair 2013

Children’s favourite, Dora the Explorer will be travelling to SW19 on June 22nd, especially to open this year’s Wimbledon Village Fair on Wimbledon Common Southside.

Highlights of this year’s event include The Fun Dog Show – a wacky contest that celebrates man’s best friend, The Adventure Village with exciting activities including Beat the Goalie an obstacle course or for the more traditional, a coconut shy and children’s pony rides. The British & International Food Villages will offer mouth-watering foods including exotic tagine, Mexican food or beautifully decorated cupcakes. Enjoy toe-tapping entertainment in the Jazz Tent and a variety of acts on the main stage showcasing local talent including school choirs, dance and exercise groups.

The event is the biggest annual fundraiser for local charity The Wimbledon Guild and money raised via sponsorships and donations will contribute to developing new services for the local community. The aim of the charity is to help local people throughout the borough of Merton to lead a better life by tackling poverty, supporting ageing and encouraging mental wellbeing.
