A free bold and brilliant grassroots community festival, celebrating creativity, history, activism and togetherness.
Across two-jam packed days, the Fayre will be taking over Smithfield with an exciting mix of hands-on workshops, thought-provoking talks, walking tours and live performances.
Get stuck into everything from zine making and puppet building to queer poetry, eco-friendly crafting, graffiti art, loose parts play and loads more. Whether you’re 7 or 77 there’s something for everyone - families, friends, solo wanderers, curious minds, and seasoned radicals alike.
Expect laughter, learning, big ideas, and brilliant people. Come to create, connect, share stories, and celebrate the power of our community.
