History:
The fair has been running since 1975 and is held annually on the last Saturday in September. Every year we raise money for local charities, while providing
the community with an enjoyable day out.
In the morning, we are busy booking in entries for our various competitions; then in the afternoon we open to the general public
for viewing.
Other attractions include Bygones, Charity Stalls, Arena Displays by local groups, a Funfair, Food stalls, Refreshments, Auction and Prize Giving Ceremony.
Also please note that we have to abide by the wishes of the Town Council and insist that no dogs (except for assistance dogs) are brought onto the
recreation ground.
Welcome to
This year the Pumpkin Fair falls on Saturday 27th September and we have chosen the following theme:
Unfortunately we are currently unable to take card payments at the gates, all payments for entry must be in cash only.
Due to the small number of cashpoints available in Soham, please make certain that you have sufficient funds for your
visit before you leave home, as these cashpoints empty very quickly when there is a large event in town.
News:
Note that we have decided to set this year's Fancy Dress Competition theme as Scarecrows, so all of you who remember
Wurzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally (that will be you, mums and dads!) will need to get your thinking heads on!
Liz Johnston has kindly provided us with a new colouring competition for this year, which can be downloaded
here.
