Chulmleigh Old Fair

Chulmleigh Old Fair The History of Chulmleigh Old Fair Chulmleigh Old Fair has taken place every year since King Henry III granted a Royal Charter to the Town in 1253.

Even during the darkest days of two world wars, Chulmleigh managed to maintain this historic event. The fair always starts at 6.30pm, on the Tuesday evening following the 22nd July. The opening of the fair is followed by the ancient money scramble, although the coins are no longer heated until red hot! A large white glove symbolising, the King’s gauntlet, is paraded through the town by the Chief H

erald, before being displayed from the Town Hall throughout the Fair which ends at midnight Saturday.
