There is a great tradition for a fair in Ware. Robert de Quincey,
Lord of the Manor, having served Henry III in the French Wars, was
granted leave to hold an Annual Fair on the “eve of the Virgin
Mary”.
Ware Festival has been built on this old tradition and is organised
by a committee consisting of Town Councillors and representatives
from local organisations. It receives support from the Town Council.
The Ware Festival Committee organises a wide range of events throughout
July; from a lively Carnival Parade, through to an Over 60s Party,
Raft Race, Teddy Bear’s Picnic and many more besides. The
Committee also supports local groups putting on their own Festival
event. The objective is to stimulate civic pride and foster community
spirit. The month comes to a close with a popular day-long Rock
Concert.
Visitors to Ware during July will find a packed programme of events
throughout the four Festival weekends, with something for everyone.
It really is ‘Ware’ its happening during July.
