And with it also being a weekend of national celebration with the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, there will be a great atmosphere for the event in the grounds of Lord Byron’s ancestral home.

The fair is open each day from 10.30am to 5pm over both the bank holiday weekend and the following weekend and normal parking fees at Newstead Abbey apply.
