UK Funfair Calendar

The United Kingdom has a number of travelling fairs that are held around similar dates each year across the country.

Our UK Funfair Calendar is built around established fairs and events that feature each year.

Precise dates should be checked with organisers or the local council, as they are often based around Bank Holidays or other variable dates.
