Neath is getting ready for the Great September Fair
It’s the oldest fair in Wales and is recognised as the fourth largest Chartered Street Trading Fair in the UK and as it can trace its origins back to an original charter granted in 1280, it’s also one of the oldest fairs of its kind in the World.
The fair we know today with its stalls set up through the streets and its vibrant Fairground rides is very different to the original fairs of the middle ages. Traders from the UK and Europe, have been attending this four-day event, which always takes place in the second week of September, for generations.
This year, an estimated 147 stalls will fill the streets of Neath with products ranging from textiles, bulbs and plants, china, pottery and many more. Many of the shops in Neath’s town centre will also be open late to coincide with the Fair, giving people a chance to browse.
