What’s it all about?

Callington Honey Fair is one of the largest street fairs in Cornwall, with hundreds of people visiting the Town to enjoy the one day event. The modern-day fair was historically on the first Wednesday in October, but has now moved to Saturdays and each year has a unique theme. That same theme is used for the Shop Window Competition and the Children’s Art Competition, which attracts entries from eleven primary schools in the region.

What happens?

As the only town in Cornwall that still retains a Honey Fair, the streets of Callington are given over to craft stalls, a Town Crier competition,  live music, a fun fair and those all important honey competitions. Always a friendly community event, many local charities and organisations participate and the Town’s churches join in with exhibitions.
