The May Fair in Boston, Lincolnshire has a long history dating back to medieval times, with records indicating its first existence as early as 1125. Next year the festival will celebrate its 900th anniversary - and is now thought to be one of the oldest fairs in England.

The fair was originally held to celebrate the coming of spring and the end of winter, and it was a time for people to trade goods and socialize. Today, the Boston May Fair is still held annually and is a popular event that attracts visitors from all over the region.

Come along and join in the festivities. If you're considering visiting Boston, there's no better weekend to join in the festivities than during the Boston May Fair week.

On Sunday 5th May from 11:00am-1:00pm the May Fair on Bargate Green Car Park and Wide Bargate will be open without sound, ensuring people with additional needs can enjoy the delights of the May Fair.
