The Fair is open 10am – 5pm on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th March.
£3.50 entry on the door (carers & under 12s free) – no prebooking required.
PLEASE NOTE – prebooking a ticket does not gain you access to the front of the queue during busy periods. Your ticket will need to be checked on the front desk and you will be given a paper entry ticket which will gain you access in and out of the Fair for the rest of the day.
Please note – the venue of the Fair is on the first floor of the 1912 Mill, which is accessed via one flight of stairs or a wheelchair accessible lift. We will have attendants on hand to offer assistance. If you have any queries, please email arts@sunnybankmills.co.uk.
The Fair will be loud and busy at times, but areas of the Mills, including the Gallery and Tea Room will be open throughout the weekend for a more relaxed shopping and seating experience.
Free parking, included limited accessible parking is available around the Mill site and on Farsley Town Street.
If you need any assistance throughout the weekend, find a Mill Host in a pink hi vis vest.
Assistance dogs ONLY inside the Fair
