Loughborough Fair The annual Loughborough Street Fair has been held in the town for over 750 years. The fair runs from the second Thursday in November to 11pm the following Saturday. The opening ceremony takes place on Thursday when the Mayor of Charnwood officially reads out the declaration from a copy of the Ancient Charter granted by King Henry III from the balcony of Loughborough Town Hall at 12 noon. Approximately 100 showmen attend the Fair each year with some 20 large rides, numerous children’s roundabouts, game and novelty stalls, amusement arcades and the ever renowned refreshment stands. Whether it’s the Crazy Shake, Meteorite, Miami, Top Spin, Super Bowl, Sea Storm, or the more traditional Galloping Horses, Waltzers, Dodgems or Cyclone that you fancy the Fair caters for the whole family. There are always one or two unexpected surprises.
