A spokesperson for Ripley Town Council said: “We love this time of year. It brings all the local community together to enjoy the amusement that the fair has to offer. We look forward to seeing people from outside of Ripley attend too.”

On the 25th day of November 1251, King Henry III let it be known that there was a Charter which ‘allows for all time use of land in the former Manor of Rippeleg’ (now Ripley Market Place) for a fair. 

Road closures will be in place in Ripley from from 8am on Sunday, October 21 until midnight on the Monday.
