🎪 What an incredible week at Chulmleigh Old Fair 2026! 🎪
Last week saw the team at Prosound Solutions (SW) Ltd once again proudly supporting one of Devon's longest-standing and most cherished community traditions – Chulmleigh Old Fair.
Our week began on Tuesday evening in Fore Street for the Official Opening of Chulmleigh Old Fair 2026, where visitors were treated to the traditional Penny Grab, children's races and fantastic entertainment from Crediton Samba Band, who stepped in at the eleventh hour to help entertain what appeared to be a record-breaking crowd. Their infectious energy certainly got the week off to a brilliant start!
On Wednesday, we were back in action for the ever-popular Village Fair and Sheep Show, incorporating the Dog Show, Vintage Vehicle Rally and a whole host of activities for families to enjoy. It was a wonderful day, made even more special by performances from pupils of Chulmleigh College and the ever-popular Sugar Maple String Band, who created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the afternoon.
While one of our PA systems was helping keep everyone informed during the annual Sport for All Day at Chulmleigh Playing Fields, another part of the team was busy preparing a separate sound system for the Horse Show & Gymkhana at Benley Cross ahead of Friday's events.
By Saturday afternoon, the whole team had reunited in Fore Street for an afternoon packed with entertainment. Visitors enjoyed wonderful displays from Border Line Morris, the ever-popular Fancy Dress Parade, prize giving, delicious cream teas and the traditional Skittles Final, all contributing to another fantastic community atmosphere.
As the afternoon gave way to the evening, the fun continued with children's entertainment, the Open Road Race around Chulmleigh and, of course, the legendary Street Party, bringing another memorable Old Fair Week to a fitting close.
Events like Chulmleigh Old Fair don't happen by chance. They rely on an incredible army of volunteers, organisers, sponsors and supporters who dedicate countless hours behind the scenes to preserve this wonderful tradition for future generations.
👏 To everyone involved – thank you. It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside you once again. You should all be immensely proud of what you've achieved. Chulmleigh Old Fair continues to go from strength to strength, and we're already looking forward to supporting you again next year!
