Goose Fair is back on Wednesday 11th October 2023!
The annual Goose Fair in Tavistock dates back to the early 12th Century, and now the Fair is held on the second Wednesday in October each year.
Market traders come from all over the country to sell their wares and provide entertainment. Stalls and side shows are set up in the centre of the Town, and some 200 spaces are let by the Town Council for traders and community groups. Further spaces in Bedford Car Park are let to members of the Showman's Guild by West Devon Borough Council with the car park being shut for the whole Goose Fair week.
Below is a guide to some of the traders who participated in 2022. A list of stallholders for Goose Fair 2023 will be published in the coming months.
