Chelsfield Village Fair has been a regular event since the Chelsfield Goose Fair in 2000. It takes place on the Recreation Ground/Cricket Green/Village Green next to the Village Hall in Chelsfield Village on a Saturday in July. Every year there is a headline charity and they receive a donation of 50% of the profit leaving the remaining 50% to be allocated to local good causes.
The Fair attracts large numbers of visitors, way out of proportion to the small population of Chelsfield and it is a very popular local event. Since 2006, the entertainment has been augmented by flying displays, the cost of which is paid for by Chelsfield Flying Club, a group of people who drink in the Five Bells and pay not insignificant sums in order to hire display aircraft.
Admission is £1, there is a very cheap beer tent and a superb barbecue and hog-roast. Put the date in your diary now!
