Ilkeston Charter Fair 2026

This is an early visit to Ilkeston Charter Fair for a couple of reasons. It's forecast to rain around lunch time and also I wanted to get here before the crowds. It's also cold, so I'm re-living my Lamretta days as a MOD and wearing a Parka Jacket - not with all the badges and flags on it this time though. The fair is almost ready for the public but there are a few showmen around putting finishing touches to the rides and stalls.
