The Food Court
Thursday 28th October 2021: 11:00 – 21:00

Bampton Charter Fair is a heritage event which has been running for centuries. It was granted its Royal Charter by King Henry III in 1258 and has been running ever since. It has always been a busy annual market and in the past famous across the country for its sheep and pony sales. On the last Thursday in October the streets of Bampton in Devon are closed to traffic, and filled with a street market. Crowds enjoy live music all day, and street entertainers provide a laugh or a scare! A fun-fair fills the town car-park and there is a craft fair, local produces and local traditional crafts. The event is free and car parking is just £5 which includes a free programme.

New for this year is a Food Court centred on Newton Square which will also be home to the music stage where a number of live acts have been booked to play throughout the day and into the evening. This is where you can find our Real Cyder Bar!

Find our Cyder Bar for Hot Mulled Cyder and everything else Devon Cyder related on Mill Street, Ottery St Mary - near the Square in OSM.

The Tar Barrel tradition is hundreds of years old. The exact origins are unknown but probably started after the gunpowder plot of 1605.  Various alternative reasons suggested for burning barrels have included fumigation of cottages and as a warning of the approach of the Spanish armada.

The West Country has a history of torchlight processions and burning barrels and Ottery was only one of the many towns and villages following an annual tradition containing barrels which were rolled in the streets on November 5th each year. Somewhere along the line someone decided rolling was tame and carrying barrels on your shoulders was far more appealing and so the present tradition was born and now Ottery is the only town in the country carrying full sized lighted tar barrels through the streets.

The procession of tableaux is also an old West Country tradition and is still a popular part of the winter months when most weekends will see a procession of brightly lit tableaux in a great many Towns and villages.

November the 5th each year is the traditional day for the Tar Barrels and only changes when the 5th falls on a Sunday. The procession and fireworks are normally on the Saturday before the 5th of November.
