Hampstead, London

That depends on your what kind of fair experience you’re after! If you’d prefer to enjoy the fair without the crowds, head to our weekday afternoons (Thursday and Friday), as this is the quietest time. Our Summer Lates are a great time to visit if you enjoy a bit of a buzz, and the chance to take in great art with friends, live DJs, welcome drinks and more! Weekends are popular with visitors, and so can be quite busy. If visiting on the weekend, make sure to give yourself enough time to see everything, as it can take a bit longer.

We encourage all our visitors to use sustainable methods of transportation.
