Salisbury City Council has confirmed the dates of this year’s Charter Fair.
A highlight for many in the Salisbury area amongst families, and children, both those who are still young and those who are not so much anymore.
The annual Salisbury Charter Fair will take place from Sunday, 16 October, until Wednesday, 19 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 Mayor of Salisbury, Councillor Tom Corbin, will officially open the Charter Fair on Sunday, 16 October, at 2 pm alongside fellow Salisbury City Councillors and members of the Showmen’s Guild Western Section.
The Charter Fair will bring plenty of fun for all the family with fair favourites, including the carousel, dodgems and waltzer, as well as other exciting rides such as Venom for the thrill seekers.
Juvenile rides will cost just £2 and most other rides £3, with some prices rising after 6 pm.
The Fair will open from 2 pm until 9 pm on Sunday, and then 11 am until 10 pm Monday through to Wednesday.
