Victorian Street Fair, Haydon Bridge
Location: Northumberland

A 'Victorian Street Fair' was arranged for Saturday 10 July 2004. This was an extravaganza of street entertainers, stalls, crafts and a costume parade from local businesses and members of the community reflecting the fair and shows that would have been a part of summer village life during the Martin's era.

The main shopping zone of Church Street was closed to traffic for this event.
