Planned mascot activities include: an opening mascot parade, children’s meet and greet with photo opportunities at Mascots in the Park with music from the Horsham Samba Band as well as, what is hoped to be, a UK record of the longest Mascot conga.

There will also be optional activities such as the Mascot Tug of War, Mascot Beat, the Goalie competition and Mascot Egg and Spoon Race.

Event facilities for mascots include free parking, secure indoor changing facilities with showers and toilets (adjacent to the Park), dedicated discrete rest and refreshment room (somewhere to take the mascot head off) and a souvenir medal and certificate.

Please note that due to the predicted warm weather, the organisers will be taking suitable precautions and the mascots will be rotating over the course of the afternoon and will then come together for the final conga.
