Widecombe Fair takes place annually on the second Tuesday in September. First held in the 1850’s, it now attracts many thousands of visitors and interest from all over the world. The famous folk song recalls the story of Uncle Tom Cobley and his friends riding to Widecombe Fair on a grey mare. Needless to say, he and his faithful nag will be there again this year!

This is real Devon country fare. Something for everyone- especially children. Livestock, Sheep and Equine classes, Terrier Racing, Family Dog Show, Vintage Vehicles and Machinery, Gymkhana, Maypole Dancing, Rural Crafts, Fancy Dress, Uncle Tom Cobley Downhill Race, Bale Tossing, Tug of War and much, much more.

A wide variety of Trade Stands will be on the Fairfield plus our popular Produce Show and Children’s Exhibition. Our on field caterer will be there to provide food and licensed refreshment and in the evening there’s Music and Dancing!
