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 offers plenty of fun for all the family with fair favourites, including the carousel, dodgems and waltzer, and other exciting rides such as Venom for the thrill seekers.

Juvenile rides will cost just £2 until 6 pm.

The Fair is open from 11 am until 10 pm Monday through to Wednesday.
