The Norwood Fair was established back in the year 1868 as a place for area residents to display the fruits of their labours. It was also an opportunity for some friendly competition between friends and neighbours, however it was mostly a community gathering where village folk came together to celebrate the harvest, catch up with each other and have a little fun for a couple of days. The Norwood Fair has of course grown and evolved substantially over the past years, but our mandate however has not changed, it is and always will be our mission to provide you and your family with a traditional country fair filled with lots of fun and excitement.
