To help everybody plan for their visit the date of the fair is May the 4th 2024 (it’s always held on the Saturday of the first May Bank holiday). Starts at 10am and finishes at 4:30pm.
The Downton Cuckoo Fair is friendly, fun and free to enjoy – and 2019 was our 40th year as the best family day out in Wiltshire! With a family-friendly festival atmosphere, the fair is held on the village greens in the picturesque village of Downton, six miles south of Salisbury on the edge of the New Forest on the Wiltshire/Hampshire border. For its size the Fair is unique in being organised wholly by volunteers; it’s run so that local organisations can raise funds for themselves.
In 2022 the Fair returned after a 3 year break. In 2019 was our fortieth anniversary with a cavalcade of Downton minis and opening by the mayor of Salisbury. In 2018 we welcomed an over 20,000 visitors to our fair, with more than 250 craft, gift, homeware and food and drink stalls on the greens and in marquees along The Borough. The Downton Cuckoo Fair offers fun for all the family including rural craft demonstrations , Punch and Judy, clowns, fairground attractions (no inflatables) in the Memorial Garde
