The Yarm Town Council is set to decide tonight whether to extend the popular Yarm Fair by one day. The Showmans Guild has proposed including Sunday in this year’s fair, which is scheduled to take place from 17-19 October.
Yarm Fair is a centuries-old tradition that draws thousands of visitors each year. The fair features a wide range of attractions, including:
- Rides: From thrilling sky high rides to gentle carousels, there’s something for everyone.
- Food and drink: A variety of delicious food and drink options are available, including traditional fairground treats and international cuisine.
The potential extension of the fair has sparked debate among local locals. Some believe that an extra day could benefit the local town by bring in more visitors, while others are concerned about the potential for increased costs and disruption – with many businesses choosing the close over the fair week.
The council must weigh these factors carefully before making a decision. The outcome will have a significant impact on the future of Yarm Fair and its role in the local community.
