Boston May Fair 900 Year Exhibition

The May Fair 900 Exhibition has officially opened at Boston Guildhall, from now until 10th May visitors are invited to explore aspects of the incredible 900-year history of one of England’s oldest and most cherished fairs.

This unique exhibition takes visitors on a fascinating journey through the centuries, uncovering how the Boston May Fair has evolved from its medieval roots to the vibrant event it is today. The exhibition will feature local historian Neil Watson’s photographs and artefacts, some of which date as far back as the 1850s. Neil will also be giving a talk at the Guildhall on Saturday 26 April 1.30pm to 3pm covering the fair 1850-1920.

On Saturday 10 May the exhibition will close with the Boston Model Fairground Show and live entertainment in Beadsman’s Lane alongside the museum.
