Mayfairs set to make return after two-year absence

All the fun of the fair! Mayfairs are set to return across Leominster, Hereford and Ludlow.

Showmen and women from around the country will make their way to Leominster, Ludlow and Hereford for the events which have not been held since 2019 due to the COVID pandemic.

Ludlow fair will take place 28th April - Monday 2nd May, Leominster fair will take place 28 - 30 April inclusive, and Hereford 3 - 5 May inclusive.

Abie Morris, on behalf of the Morris family, said: “We are pleased to now be able to return to the town of Leominster so we can provide the pleasure and enjoyment that the fair gives to so many people. We look forward to seeing you and giving you a time to remember with the many attractions we will be bringing!”

Dean Deakin, Chairman of the South Wales and Northern Ireland Section of The Showman’s Guild, said: “We are proud to present Hereford’s Mayfair once again. A warm welcome awaits when you join us at this historic and impressive traditional fun fair. Come and join us for excitement and laughter from riding the heart-stopping white knuckle rides to bumper to bumper fun, not forgetting the thrills of the children and traditional rides. From rides to stalls we have it all.”
