ST GILES FAIR, OXFORD
Annual event held early in September at St Giles,
Oxford, OX1 3LU. Fair-goers can look forward to all the traditional fun fair
rides and amusements like a coconut shy, helter skelter, carousels, dodgems and
waltzers combined with some exciting up-to-date, white-knuckle rides. St.
Giles' fair is a great Oxford tradition that has always moved with the times.
The fair is one of the most prestigious in the country. The fair dates back to
1625 when it was a parish festival to celebrate the feast of the patron saint,
St. Giles. In the 18th century it was a toy fair, then in the 19th century it
was a general children's fair. Pictures 2012 by Terry
