St Bartholomew’s Street Fair 2017

Information for Traders and Booking Form

Saint Bartholomew’s Fair 2017

Friday 1st and Saturday 2ndSeptember

Saint Bartholomew’s Fair is an annual event in the streets of Crewkerne. The fair dates back to Saxon Times and was granted a Royal Charter in 1198. A chartered fair was a major annual market. There has been a funfair in the main street of the town (the A30) since at least 1861

Since assuming responsibility for the fair in 2012 the new fair committee, all members of The Rotary Club of Crewkerne District, have grown the street market which has proved to be very popular with customers of the adjacent supermarkets and with the population of Crewkerne and the surrounding area. As it is becoming better established it will be expanded carefully with the cooperation of surrounding businesses. Pricing is very reasonable.

We invite applications from traders interested in taking part in the stall market. There are places available in Falkland Square which opens on to the main street and is central to the town and the Funfair and there are places in The George Precinct which backs on to Lidl and the public car park. There are adjoining areas to expand into as the event grows.Trading areas are well signed from the town and funfair. There is a loading area behind the shops in Falkland Square with a very short carrying distance however there is no parking in that area but it is 50yds to the town centre car park.

For prices, contact details and terms and conditions please see the attached application form or go to our website at or to join our mailing list email
