The Showman’s Guild remains compliant with the Government guidelines with regards to social distancing and respects the well-being and safety of the public.

With these restrictions in place, the Guild fully understands that large gatherings are not permitted in public places. 

Notwithstanding Royal Charter or not, in order to retain certainty to maintain this historic Charter Fair, which was granted circa 1336, the London & Home Counties Section of the Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain have requested a token appearance.

Having consulted with colleagues regarding current slightly more relaxed government guidance and restrictions we are permitting a small token appearance in Pinner for 2-3 hours on the 27th May 2020.

The Showman’s Guild placed a small juvenile ride (not operational), a vintage fairground lorry and a fairground musical organ to represent the annual street fair. Harrow Council suspended five parking bays by the High Street War Memorial for setting up the ride in the parking bays and a portion of the footway.
