Buckham Fair 2026 – In Support Of Dorset County Hospital’s Emergency and Critical Care Appeal.

We would like to thank all our visitors, sponsors, wonderful volunteers, stall holders and everyone who attended Buckham
Fair this year on 2 nd August.

We raised a record amount of £138,000, which has enabled Dorset County Hospital to reach their fundraising target for their
Critical Care Unit and Emergency Wing.

We had a wonderful day; the weather was kind (hot!), and we have had so many compliments on holding such a traditional
family Fair, with something for everyone.

We are taking a break from Buckham Fair for now and will update any further news on this page.

Thank you on behalf of the Buckham Fair Committee
