After a two year break due to Covid-19, the Rockbourne Fair at Salisbury Racecourse returned today (Wednesday 13th October).

It all raises money for the Stars Appeal charity and in 2019 it raised more than £54,000.

The shopping event didn't take place last year due to the pandemic

100% of the profits raised from the three day event will go to Salisbury District Hospital's charity.

There's over 90 stalls at 2021's event, with everyone ready to welcome visitors as the doors opened at 10am this morning.

Here is when the event is open:

Wednesday 13th 10am - 5.30pm

Thursday 14th 10am - 8pm

Friday 15th 10am - 3pm

It takes place at Salisbury Racecourse

Bev Moulding, chair of the organising committee, said:

“After what’s been a very difficult year for so many, we are thrilled to be hosting the Fair again. We have listened carefully to our stallholders and customers about their concerns and have worked hard, sourcing the very best stalls to create a unique shopping experience in the safest possible environment.

"The fair prides itself on the breadth of the offering, with something for all ages and for those with pocket money spend through to those looking for that special gift.

"We look forward to raising some much-needed funds for Salisbury Hospital. Come with friends, enjoy lunch in the restaurant - and Shop the Rock!”
