Welcome to the Northleach Charter Fair website!
You will find details on this site of the events planned for the Charter Fair, competitions to be run on the day, booking and entry forms, contact details of the organising committee and photos of previous fairs.
History & Aims ...
King Henry III granted the town a charter in 1227 allowing a weekly market to be held and an annual fair to be staged on the vigil of the feast and the morrow of St Peter and St Paul. In modern times, it is held each year on the last Saturday in June.
This is a non-profit making event that provides a great day out for the community and aims to raise funds for local clubs and charities. Attractions include fairground rides, stalls run by the local community groups, competitions, a barbecue and local live bands playing in the afternoon.
