The annual Salisbury Charter Fair returned to Salisbury's Market Place on Sunday (16th October 2022).
The fair has lit up the centre of Salisbury with an exciting variety of traditional and modern rides, stalls and attractions.
The history of the Charter Fair dates back to 1227 – seven years after the building of Salisbury Cathedral began when 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, officially opened the Charter Fair on Sunday, alongside fellow Salisbury City Councillors and members of the Showmen’s Guild Western Section who enjoyed a ride on the dodgems.
Juvenile rides cost £2 and most other rides £3, with some prices rising after 6pm. The Fair is open 11am until 10 pm today (Tuesday 18th October) and tomorrow (Wednesday 19th October).
