2018 Old Town Fair

Saturday 1 September was the third Clapham Old Town Fair and this year it was bigger and better than ever. It featured over 50 stalls, sports activities, the London Fire Brigade, food and drink from local businesses, craft stalls, community groups, live music, fun fair rides and animals from Vauxhall City Farm.

The Fair was started 3 years ago after the London Fire Brigade approached This is Clapham BID seeking to organise a public event to help celebrate 100 years of the London Fire Brigade and recognise the support given by members of the local community in their successful campaign to prevent the closure of the station. It has gone from strength to strength since then and remains a community powered event celebrating everything that we love about Clapham, its people and its local businesses.
