The Bampton Charter Fair is eagerly anticipating a remarkable turnout this year, with over a hundred stalls already booked for this beloved street fair. Celebrating its 766th year, the fair has become a cherished annual tradition for families, and the organizers are confident that there will be something to delight everyone in attendance. The Cheese Connection, a renowned purveyor of artisanal cheeses, will be present at the fair, offering visitors the opportunity to sample and purchase their finest selections.
The Fair at Bampton has been going strong for over 760 years since King Henry III granted it a Royal Charter. While the livestock and pony sales are gone, the last Thursday in October still offers a lively shopping experience, a social event, and a great day out. The town's atmosphere is transformed with closed roads, a fun-fair, market stalls, a craft fair in the church, and riverside tents showcasing local produce and traditional skills. Musicians and street entertainers add to the festive mood, ensuring visitors leave with smiles on their faces.
