All the fun of the fair will be coming to Castle Donington next week for the 746th year.

The historic Castle Donington Wakes Fair, which is operated by Castle Donington Parish Council, will be running from Thursday 23rd October to Saturday 25th October.

Hundreds of people attend the attraction which fills the village centre and last year it celebrated its 746th year.

Fiona Palmer, the Clerk to the Parish Council, said: “The fair is always a fantastic spectacle when it comes to Castle Donington village centre.

We are looking forward to welcoming families and residents along to enjoy all of the fun of the fair including many rides as well as food, drink and other attractions.

The fair will be opened at 6pm on Thursday 23 October with the reading of the official fair charter located at the helter-skelter.
