The Rotary Cheam May Fair 1977-2019

Rotary May Fair first started in 1977 as the Cheam Fair. Today it is one of the largest annual local community events. It is a fun day out for everyone, especially families.

A record number of people, around 5,500 attend the Fair each year.

The Fair brings many activities for the entertainment of the whole family. These activities include centre Arena shows, children’s Fun Fair with traditional attractions, Radio Marsden, Commercial and charity stalls, food court, mini go-karts, a Children’s corner including face painting and hoopla, donkey rides and many more, much more …

The event takes place on the late May Bank Holiday, in Cheam Recreation Grounds.

The organisers, Cheam and Sutton Rotary Club, make a point of showcasing community groups who put on displays throughout the afternoon.

The main theme of Rotary’s May Fair is fun, however, at the same time funds in the six figures have been raised for local charities over the years.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the 2020 & 2021 May Fairs had to be cancelled and has not been revived
