Join the fun at Richmond May Fair and celebrate our community

With more than 250 stallholders already signed up, the much-loved Richmond May Fair will take place on Saturday 10 May between 10am and 5pm on Richmond Green. It will be opened by the Mayor of Richmond.

At the fair, Richmond in Europe Association will kick off their celebrations and mark 65 years of Richmond being in partnership with Fontainebleau (France) and Konstanz (Germany). A wide range of commemorative events including receptions, parades and concerts are planned for the Twinning Reaffirmation Weekend from 6 to 8 June. Some activities have already started, with more events continuing throughout the summer. You can view the full event programme. 

Old favourites like the vintage funfair and dog show will return, along with a host of stalls, the craft marquee and a variety of food and drink. Local bands, schools and various performance groups will provide free entertainment throughout the day on the Riverside Radio stage.

With charities, artisans, businesses and schools all represented, the fair is a showcase for all that Richmond has to offer and plays an important role in helping local charities promote their work and raise much-needed funds.

Pamela Fleming, Chair of the Richmond May Fair Committee and recently recognised at the Community Heroes Awards 2024/25 for her dedicated work on the fair, commented: “We couldn’t put on the fair without the generous support from our new sponsors in 2025 and our wonderful team of volunteers. The fair is part of Richmond’s rich heritage and fosters a real sense of community. Our aim is to make sure there is something for everyone and to suit every pocket and taste. We are all hoping the sun shines like it did for us in 2024 so residents and visitors can enjoy the day!”
