The Primrose Hill Community Association Summer Fair is held in June every year, in Chalcot Square and Chalcot Road. [map]

This year we want the fair to be just a little bit special, so we are hoping to have a parade through Primrose Hill just prior to the opening of the fair. Transition Primrose Hill will organise this, linking up with the Paraiso School of Samba, a 50-strong outfit of dancers and drummers who will add colour, sound and vibrancy to the proceedings, as well as celebrating Primrose Hill’s diversity and energy. The ‘Hat Judges’ will also have a keen eye on the participants and the audience to pick out contenders for the ‘Best Hat’ competition. There will also be an Instagram photo competition – using hashtag #PHFair (more details soon).

The event will be opened by Richard Cotton, Camden Councillor and Primrose Hill Library volunteer, due to be elected Mayor of Camden in May. He will be introducing on stage local groups Pitta Patta Dancers, Catherine’s Ballet, the South Hampstead High School Cheerleaders, Emily Dankworth Jazz Band and the Rock Choir. Stilt walkers, face painters, Punch and Judy, Morris Men/Women and Primrose Hill Choir will perform in the square.

Everyone can join in our popular sideshows, staffed by local volunteers, which include a Coconut Shy, Spin the Wheel and Hoop-La. Our BBQ, Pimms, wine and beer, and home-made cake and tea stalls will be serving delicious food and drink. Other Community Centre stalls will be selling new/nearly new items, jewellery, toys, books, raffle tickets etc., offered by people who have hired stalls to sell their wares. If you need a summer treat, Garry Trainer and his colleagues will be on hand to offer massages.

We invite you to come along and enjoy the day, and help raise money for the Primrose Hill Community Association to fund its various activities and services for local people, including raising funds for the lease of the hall.
