Tombland fair swing boats [B549] 1933-04-17
The beginnings of the fair called "Tombland
Fair" are very obscure. It seems to have had its
origin in an annual synod just before Easter when a few
stalls for refreshments and trinkets were erected on
Tombland. It was formerly known as "Good Friday
Fair" and was certainly held on that day until 1686
when a proclamation was made that in future it should be
held on the day before Good Friday. Throughout most of
the 20c it was held on the Castle Hill at Christmas and
Easter. |

Castle Meadow Christmas fair from mound [6954]
1992-12-24
From Christmas 1991 arrangements were made for the Easter
and Christmas Fairs to be held on Castle Meadow which was
closed to traffic for those occasions. For several years
previously, because of the Castle Mall development, it
had been held on the Bethel St car park and at the
Livestock Market on Hall Rd, but reduced attendances
forced its return to the city centre. Because of
disruption to the bus company's timetables the fair was
last held in Castle Meadow at Easter 1997. |
