Robert Denton reads the Proclamation

Rowell Fair

As well as the many one-off events organised throughout the year, "The Cons" is traditionally host to The Rowell Fair Breakfast where we open Tresham Hall to the many visitors this event attracts for a hearty breakfast prior to the 800 year old tradition of the Proclamation Ceremony.

This Ceremony begins at the stroke of 6 o'clock in the morning outside the west door of the Church on the Monday after the Feast of the Holy Trinity (known locally as Rowell Fair Monday).

After this reading, the Bailiff (and our very own Secretary!) Bob Denton, rides on horseback accompanied by a bodyguard of halberdiers and the Rowell Fair Society Band and the Charter is read at all the public houses, or sites of those now closed, in the town.

After each reading a hearty cheer is given for "God save the Queen and the Lord of the Manor" and the National Anthem is played.

The party is then presented with drinks from the landlords which include the traditional Rowell Fair rum and milk for the Bailiff, a drink designed to keep the morning chill away, with beers for the halberdiers and the band.

After some good humoured horseplay, where local youths try to disarm the halberdiers, the procession moves onto the next hostelry where the ceremony is repeated.
