Summercourt Fair, An 800 year old Cornish tradition, Cornwall, UK
Experience the enduring charm of Summercourt Fair, a beloved Cornish tradition that has thrived for over 800 years.
From its origins in Bodmin to its current vibrant form, learn about its journey through history. Discover the significance of its charter, the impact of calendar changes, and the captivating attractions, from the bustling market to the exhilarating funfair provided by The Showmen's Guild. Henderson, a noted historian and antiquarian of Cornwall, researched the fair in the early years of the twentieth century for his Essays in Cornish History and Cornwall: A Guide. He found that the fair evolved from "The Long Fayre" held in Bodmin, which dates back to the 11th century. The fair moved west to St Enoder parish, where it was held throughout the Early Middle Ages, first at Penhale before moving to Summercourt in the reign (1307–1327) of King Edward II.
Documents in the care of Cornwall Council[3] include a reference to the customs, rights, and history of the Charter dating back as far as 1234. The fair was traditionally held on 14 September until 1752, when Britain adopted the Gregorian calendar. The change involved correcting the calendar by eleven days so the fair day changed to 25 September.[1] In 1838, Davies Gilbert wrote that the fair "is considered to be the most important in Cornwall".
The modern fair runs from the third Thursday in September, with the main market day the following Monday. Apart from the market, the principal attraction is the funfair provided by travelling showmen of The Showmen's Guild's western section. The funfair lessee is David Rowland and Sons.
