A Unique Event... The Bishop’s Castle Michaelmas Fair is the best value weekends entertainment in Shropshire.
The whole town is full of music, steam, entertainment , exhibitions, stalls, shops, processions - something for everyone - young or old.
You have missed the 2007 fair, a wonderful weekends entertainment, we will now have a 3 month rest before planning the 2008 event.
Just wanted to drop a line to say Thank You for a lovely weekend's entertainment. We were on holiday for the weekend at Daisy Bank Caravan park and did not know this fair was on. However after sitting and deciding what to do on Saturday we had a lovely surprise when we arrived at Bishops castle. We had a fun filled day and did not want to leave. Everybody was in great spirits even though there were times of getting soaked with the rain - we ate our chips and drank our beer under the umbrella.
We particularly enjoyed the male Morris dancers and Mama Matrix at the very top with the violin. The steam engines were fantastic and we were gutted after forgetting our camera that we could not take any pictures. I also bought some very good bargains from the fair trade stalls (only wish was didn't have more money - some great bargains)
We will certainly be back next year after seeing this fab event.
