St Winnold’s Fair is a Civic event to commemorate the first market charter granted to the town in 1046.

 

The last Friday before Good Friday is marked by a procession round the town and market of local dignitaries, some in a horse and trap, all headed by a led shire horse.

 

The event was resurrected in 2004 and has quickly become established as a popular and unique event on Downham’s calendar.
