It’s going to be an amazing day and stall
bookings are coming in with many local groups
keen to meet you. Stall holders are still welcome
to book in by email thrapstoncharterfair@gmail.
com or visiting the website – www.
thrapstoncharterfair.co.uk.
Enormous thanks must go to all
the members of Thrapston Fair and
Charter Day Committee who are
working so hard to bring this all
together. I don’t suppose Baldwin De
Vere gave any thought to how long the
market would run for back in 1205
but it’s a great opportunity to celebrate
the long history of Thrapston and to
continue building the wonderful community we
are today.
BOOK THE DATE
28th June 2025 from 2.00pm – 6.00pm and we
look forward to seeing you there.
