Events in Uppingham
There are a number of events that take place annually in Uppingham which require full or partial road closures. These activities are organised by local community groups or third parties as follows:
- The Annual Lent Fair protected by Royal Charter - organised and run by Holland Amusements for over 100 years. This normally takes place in Feb/Mar each year. If you are a parent and your child will be going to the Fair either accompanied or unaccompanied you might like to read this advice from the Health & Safety Executive
