Midsummer Fair
Wednesday June 19, 2024–Sunday June 23, 2024
One of the most exciting events in the Cambridge calendar, Midsummer Fair, returns to the city with rides and great fun for all. As one of the longest-established fairs in the UK, it is also a cherished part of the city’s history.
The Fair, which is run by the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community on Midsummer Common, is free to enter. In 1901, the Cambridge News described the opening of the event as “the delight of children and the pleasure of not a few adults.”
Throughout history, there has been a variety of entertainment at the fair including fire-eating, sword-swallowing, moving pictures and wrestling. Today, the entertainment is mainly fairground rides and stalls that all ages can enjoy. There is a fee for individual rides and stalls.
What’s Ons are broadcast across the day at 7.50, 10.30, 1.30 and 4.30, and at weekends.
