Pat Collins Fun Fairs have been associated with Burton for over 100 years. The Statues Fair is the modern-day successor to the traditional labour hiring fair that was historically held in the town each year on the first Monday and Tuesday after Michaelmas.
Councillor Paul Walker, Cabinet Member for Tourism and Cultural Development, said “it’s great to see the Statutes Fair return for another year, lighting up the streets of Burton and providing entertainment for both residents and visitors alike”.
I hope all those that attend have a wonderful time!
