Salisbury Charter Fair details confirmed

Salisbury City Council have confirmed the details for this year’s Charter Fair that will take place in the Market Place and Guildhall Square.

Salisbury Charter Fair will open on Sunday, 15th October, until Wednesday, 18th October, in Salisbury Market Place and Guildhall Square.

The fair will light up the centre of Salisbury with an exciting variety of traditional and modern rides, stalls and attractions.

In 1227 – seven years after the building of Salisbury Cathedral began – King Henry III granted a Charter to the Bishop of Salisbury to hold a fair on the third Monday in October. 

The Charter Fair attracts thousands of people to the Market Place every year, bringing plenty of fun for all the family with traditional fair favourites, including the carousel, dodgems and waltzer. Feeling brave? Try out Oxygen –  the exciting new ride for thrill seekers! There will also be street food and sweet treats, including toffee apples, to enjoy.

The Mayor of Salisbury, Councillor Atiqul Hoque, will officially open the Charter Fair on Sunday, 15th October, at 2 pm alongside fellow Salisbury City Councillors and Showmen’s Guild Western Section members.

Juvenile rides will cost just £2 until 6 pm.

The Fair will open from 2 pm until 9 pm on Sunday and then from 11 am until 10 pm Monday through to Wednesday.
