FAMILY FUN DAY

SUNDAY 16th JULY

When and where will the MCA Trust Family Fun Day take place?

Sunday 16th July 2023 @ the Orsett Showground Rectory Rd, Orsett, Grays RM16 3JU.

Who is the Family Fun Day in aid of?

We’re delighted to be able to be supporting the Orsett-based children’s cancer charity, the MCA Trust. The Michael Charles Adams Memorial Trust offer their honourable support to children with cancer under the age of 22. Their work ranges from the refurbishment of hospital environments, right the way through to premium respite breaks. The MCA Trust is a volunteer run – donation-based Trust, with an astonishing 97.1p to every £1 donated going directly to the children they support!

Will the event still take place in bad weather?

Orsett Showground is well-drained and has never had to cancel an event due to rain. In the event of torrential rain or hazardous weather, the event organisers will come to a decision in the best interest and safety of all attendees.

What activities are on offer at the Orsett Family Fun Day 2023?

Disney Encanto Outdoor Screening, Inflatables, Outdoor Wrestling Show, Mini Golf, Arts and Crafts Stalls, Live Music and DJ will all be on offer at our Fun Day.

Due to private event legislation, we cannot allow our attendees to bring their own food and drink on-site – however, a variety of means-tested food vendors will be available. There will be several cost-effective food stalls catering for a variety of allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements.

Are dogs allowed on-site?
