Announcing the 2021 AGM
This year’s Mill Road Winter Fair AGM will be held via Zoom on Tuesday 23 March at 7.30pm. We will be planning our 2021 Fair and exploring a range of exciting ideas for Mill Road Fringe events, which may take place during the summer months as the Covid restrictions lift.
This is the perfect time to join our team of volunteers and help shape the cultural life of the Mill Road neighbourhood so please do get in touch if you’d like to get involved. It is a great way to meet a fabulous bunch of people while also making a massive difference in your community.
Please email [email protected] if you’d like to find out more and/or receive the Zoom link for the AGM.
The 2020 Fair
In 2020, the Mill Road Winter Fair could not take place due to Covid-19. Instead, we held our first Online Fair featuring many of the local performers, artists, stalls and organisations who would have been there on the day.
We also coordinated an amazing community event to celebrate and showcase the identity and culture of Mill Road. Fun for all the family, the Mill Road Lantern Trail was funded by the charity, Love Mill Road.
Mill Road Fair Online
We hope that the Online Fair will give you a glimpse of the very special atmosphere of the Mill Road Winter Fair. From awesome local art to fantastic seasonal gifts to purchase, from sensational musical performances to historical talks, plus exciting experiments and craft activities for children, it’s all here.
Mill Road Lantern Trail
Mill Road sparkled in December 2020 through the spectacular Mill Road Lantern Trail! Ten stunning community lanterns, representing ten local roads, were hung in shops along Mill Road and illuminated from what would have been Fair day, 5th December.
An illustrated trail accompanied the lanterns. It provides fascinating detail about a number of Mill Road’s best-loved buildings through historical Mill Road stories. We hope it will encourage people to come to Mill Road to explore its shops, eat in its cafés and generally soak up the special Mill Road vibe.

The Winter Fair is run entirely by volunteers and we need your donations to help stage it every year. If you would like to get involved or donate, we would very much appreciate it.
