The last time I came, it was a roasting hot day Link Today it was mild but WET...
Umbrellas up, it must be the Charter Fair

In 1393 Richard II and the Bishop of Salisbury confirmed an Order dated 29th April 1221 allowing a weekly market and an annual fair to be held in the town. Although the weekly markets were already established the first Fair was reported to be held 1394.

The Charter Fair is organized by a group of volunteers from Haslemere and surrounding villages and has been running every 2 years since it was reinstated in 1984 (apart from a COVID break in 2020). It is supported by Haslemere Town Council and organised by Haslemere Events.
