The annual Charter Fair returns to Buckingham town centre this weekend.
The fair will roll into town on Friday morning to set up bringing with it an exciting range of rides including the dodgems The Joker, The Orbitor, Haunted House, juvenile rides, coconut shy, shooting gallery, street food and more.
Buckingham’s first charter to hold the annual fair was given by Mary I in 1554 and the second charter was given by Charles II in 1658. The charter states that the fairs must be on a Saturday and not any other day. Today the showman arrive on the Friday to set up and leave early on Sunday morning for both fairs.
The fair will be opened at 1pm on Saturday by the Town Crier, Head Showman, Mr Marshall Nichols and Mr Mike Smith.
