The next morning I'm told there is a fair taken place in town, so I
visit it. Goods are sold, various produce is available like honey,
pancakes, pig roast, pottery, leather and of course beer. Numerous
skills are on show with metalwork, bodging, thatching and archery.
There is archery contests, dancing, music, costumed traders, battle
re-enactments, Puppeteers
Scarborough Fair
During late medieval times the seaside resort of Scarborough was an
important venue for tradesmen from all over England. It was host to
a huge forty five day trading event, starting August 15, which was
exceptionally long for a fair in those times. People from all over
England, and even some from the continent, came to Scarborough to
engage in business.
Scarborough Fair, the ballad
The song tells the tale of a young man, who tells the listener to
ask his former lover to perform for him a series of impossible
tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it
in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take
her back
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?, Parsley, sage, rosemary and
thyme, Remember me to one who lives there, For she once was a true
love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary and
thyme, Without any seam nor needlework, And then she'll be a true
love of mine....
