Milton Abbas Street Fair
When? 26 July 2025
Where? Blandford
The Villagers of Milton Abbas invite you to their 18th Century Street Fair. Whatever the weather, we hope you join in the fun of our Street Fair. We have tried to recreate the flavour of a country occasion using costume, rural crafts, entertainment and craft demonstrations. We expect to have over 100 stalls, with food and drink venues throughout The Street and Lake Field.
We hope that you will join in the spirit of the day and spend your money freely in support of local good causes which also benefit the communities in the surrounding villages and our nominated external charity for this year.
The ancient town of Middleton was founded in 934AD and was clustered around the Benedictine Abbey, nestling in the Delcombe Valley. King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, granted the old town a market and a fair. This fair took place on St Sampson’s Day. St Sampson was the patron saint of the ancient town and the Abbey.
(Milton Abbas is approximately 8 miles from Blandford).
