Abbey Farm Summer Fair 2026

Abbey Farm’s popular Summer Fair returns to beautiful Abbotsbury for three days of Bank Holiday fun, live entertainment, shopping and family activities.

Taking place from Saturday 29 to Monday 31 August, the fair will bring together more than 40 artisan shops, market stalls and independent makers. Visitors can browse handmade gifts, arts and crafts and local produce while enjoying live music throughout the weekend.

There will be plenty to keep younger visitors entertained, including free pebble painting, a free children’s trail and other activities. Creative workshops will also be taking place, while the farm’s Pick Your Own flower field offers an opportunity to gather a colourful seasonal bouquet.

Food stalls, sweet treats, local drinks and traditional cream teas will be available, alongside Cherries Café and a licensed bar. Visitors can also explore Abbey Farm’s independent shops and studios, discover the historic ruins and Tithe Barn, and take in the surrounding rural views.

Dogs are welcome, making the Abbey Farm Summer Fair a relaxed Bank Holiday day out for the whole family.
