Residents in Chipping Sodbury are gearing up to welcome the famous Mop Fair back to the town for the first time in 2019.

It may be a logistical nightmare for shoppers and some residents, but it is an event that has become a big part of the area's history.

The fair will be in Chipping Sodbury High Street on Friday, March 22 and Saturday March 23.

Last year, the chair of Sodbury Town Council Phil Rumney said: "It takes a lot of hard work to put the Mop on in Sodbury.

“But it grows every year, the rides and scale of the event has just got bigger and bigger every year.

“It’s just another example of what Sodbury is all about. It takes over but if it is well attended it is good for the community.”
