One of the most popular events in the South Hams, Prawle Fair is like stepping back in time with all the old favourite attractions such as swing boats, donkey rides, children’s train ride, test your strength, slippery pole, hoopla, raffles, children’s tug of war and lots more.

A children’s fancy dress competition follows the traditional raising of the glove and later in the afternoon there are knobbly knees and handsomest ankles contests for anyone who wants to exhibit their leggy charms. For those children feeling energetic there are children’s sports to take part in, and for those just wanting to watch someone else do the hard work there’s a dog agility display.

There is live music on the green all afternoon from the excellent Raggle Taggle Band and refreshments are available all afternoon from various stalls around the fair, and of course from the Piglet Cafe and the Pigs Nose Inn.

All set on and around the Village Green with the picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and sea views.

The fair starts at 2pm and goes on to around 5pm, depending on the weather and how much fun everyone is having! Entrance to the Fair is free. Parking is just £2 per car.
