Banbury Michaelmas Fair 2012

 The Banbury Michaelmas Fair is held each year in October in the centre  of Banbury.  The fair opens on Wednesday at 4.00pm and  stays until late on Friday. It has now become a popular  tradition of the fair that the fairholder gives a ‘golden key’ to the  Chairman of the Council who officially opens the fair. This takes place  at 4.00pm on the Wednesday afternoon of fair week in front of Banbury  Town Hall. The Chairman and the Town Mayor of Banbury then tour the fair and the entourage of children who follow are given one free ride when  each ride or carousel is struck with the ‘golden key’.

Willie Wilson presents the fair and draws together a good number of rides, a lot taking part on a number of the Back End Mop fairs around the Midlands.
