Bear Fairs 2026

Our first fair of 2026 takes us to Tavistock, Devon, known as the western gateway to Dartmoor.

This gorgeous historic town is the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake, and is the original home of the cream tea.

The fair will take place at the Butchers Hall, a listed building next to the 900 year old Pannier Market.

We will be there on Saturday 9th May, between 10.30 am and 3 pm.

32 Market Road, Tavistock, Devon. PL19 0AL.

In June we head east to the beautiful New Forest, specifically the village of Brockenhurst. It is officially the most beautiful place in Britain.

Brockenhurst is a wonderful village in the New Forest, where you will find ponies, donkeys, and cows roaming down the High Street, poking their noses into local shops and cafes.

The fair will be held at Brockenhurst Village Hall, on Sunday 14th June at Highwood Road, Brockenhurst, Hampshire.

 SO42 7RY

The hall has free parking, and is a five minute walk from Brockenhurst railway station.

Finally, in August we return to the Cotswolds, and the medieval town of Tewkesbury.

On Sunday 9th August, we will be at the Watson Memorial Hall, 65 Barton Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. GL20 5PX.

All of the fairs are free to enter for visitors.
