St Giles’ Fair is an Oxford tradition and is back again for 2021 running on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 September 2024 and open from 11am to 11pm on both days.

Packed full of fairground rides and food stalls, there’s something for all ages.

The fair is normally held on the Monday and Tuesday following the first Sunday after St Giles’ Day (1 September) and dates back to 1625 when it was a parish festival to celebrate the feast of the patron saint, St Giles.

In the 18th century it was a toy fair, then in the early 19th century it was a general children’s fair.  The funfair grew during mid and late Victorian times.
