Find out more about the rich history of fun fairs

Are you curious to know how fun fairs came about? A guide will tell you all about it every Sunday during the Mid-Lent fun fair. The guided tour starts at the Great Butchers' Hall at 2.30 pm.
 

Stimulus-poor day

As usual, there will be one stimulus-poor day during the Mid-Lent fun fair.  This means that there will be less flickering lights, less commotion and less noise. This is a day when autistic or epileptic children and adults can really have fun at the fair.
