Meet Evesham's
new Mayor
Having been a member of
Evesham Town Council for the
past 10 years I was delighted to
be given the honour of being
made Mayor of Evesham for the
forthcoming municipal year. Our
Mayor Making ceremony, held
Monday 1st May in the Town
Hall, is a long held tradition
with Town Crier, Macebearers
and a fair amount of pomp and
ceremony. In fact, there has been
a Mayor Of Evesham since 1605.
The role of Mayor is threefold.
Firstly, I chair the town monthly
full council meeting. I also
attend all other sub-committee
meetings.
Secondly, I am Evesham’s chief
cheerleader. My task is to
accentuate the positive aspects
of living in Evesham to a wider
audience. Not hard to do as our
river, along with Abbey Park,
are well known attractions and
enjoyed by many visitors to
the town.
Thirdly, I will raise funds for my
chosen charities. This year there

Evesham Richard & Penny Jones
are three, Evesham Adventure
Playground, Evesham Mental
Health Support Services and
St Richards Hospice. They are
all worthy causes who rely on
donations to carry out their
valuable work.
I am proud to be Mayor of
Evesham and along with my
wife Penny, my Mayoress, we are
looking forward to representing
the Town over the next
12 months.
Thanks Mayor! To get intouch

Expanding Street Fayre Continues
Sunday 2nd
July 10am
onwards
ELECTIONS
EVESHAM PORT STREET TO WORKMAN GARDENS
Following the amazing success of
the previous years, Evesham's Port
Street Fayre is set to expand this
year to be bigger and better with
an International theme.
New for 2017 the fayre is expanding
into Workman Gardens, at the
bottom of Port Street, next to the
River. This will be the ‘Kids Zone’
with Bouncy castles, climbing wall,
stand up paddleboarding on the
river and lots more.
On Sunday the 2nd July from
10am – 5pm there will be a stages
between top and bottom of Port
Street with a mix of entertainers
and stalls between it all!
It will also continue into the
evening at The Swann Inn on Port
Street.
The fayre is a genuine local
event for any and all residents
and visitors, with the theme
of ‘international fayre’, all are
welcome. There will be a large
variety of food available along the
street, and attractions and stalls.
Now a tradition, the Big Wheel, at
the top of the street is well worth
a go as it provides a great view
of the event and Evesham Town.
Street entertainers will be thrown
into the mix, and plenty to see
like the exotic animals, fire eaters,
dancing groups and more.
FREE to come and visit, the Port
Street International Fayre is a great
community event and we hope
you can pay it a visit on Sunday 2nd
July.
