“Best in Dorset Farmers & Makers Markets have, once again been invited to be part of the Milton Abbas Street Fair.

The fair originally began after King Athelstan began a tradition in the 10^th Century, when he granted the old town of Milton a market and a fair after visiting it. Since then, the town was famously moved by Joseph Damer in the 18^th Century and became the Milton Abbas we know and love today. In 1973 the street fair was restarted as a nod back to those historical times and is a much loved bi-annual event.

The famous thatched Cob houses in The Street give up their front lawns for stall holders and demonstrators and the road closes to all vehicles and becomes pedestrianised, allowing visitors to enjoy the day.

Stallholders dress in traditional costumes to enhance the atmosphere of the event and decorate their stalls with some historical character.

Keep your eyes peeled for more details.”
