The Studland Country Fair has long been entertaining the masses and while the fair may look a bit different today, its core values of community spirit, family fun, and celebrating rural life remain as strong as ever.

The fair's origins can be traced back to a small village show, likely starting in the latter half of the 20th century. Over time, it steadily grew in size and popularity, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

The fair has always been a community-driven event. Volunteers dedicate countless hours to planning and organising the fun, ensuring its continued success year after year.

While the core elements of the fair have remained consistent, it has undoubtedly evolved over time. Some specific attractions and displays from the past may no longer be present, but they have been replaced with new and exciting offerings.
