Delays expected during historic Mop Fair

Dating back to the 12th century, the Mop Fair takes its name from its original purpose, which was a hiring event, where servants carried the tools of their trade to show that they were available for work. The event is peculiar to a section of the Midlands and West Country between Kings Norton and Salisbury. In recent times Mop Fairs have become a funfair run by The Nichols family for over 100 years.

The topside road closure is in effect from midnight on September 19 to 4am on September 22..
