Marldon Apple Pie Fair
30th July
Apple Pie Fair, held in the beautiful village of Marldon in the South Hams. Attractions include arena events, an exhibition of craft activities and local artists in a large marquee, plus numerous side-shows and stalls.
Marldon is a beautiful rural parish in the South Hams of Devon, comprising the village of Marldon and the hamlets of Compton and Westerland, a few miles inland from the resorts of Torbay and within easy reach of the towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot.
The fair was an annual event in the 19th Century but unfortunately died out. In 1958 the decision was taken to revive the annual village day and call it 'Marldon Apple Pie Fair'.
The event draws together members of village organisations and residents of Marldon in a combined effort to produce the Apple Pie Fair. The main organisation of the Fair is done by an ad hoc sub-committee of the Village Hall Council, and the profits of the Fair help to keep Marldon's fine Village Hall in 'Apple Pie Order'. The Fair is held on the last Saturday in July each year.
