Doesn't look very warm for enjoying a fair, nicely captured.
Googling "Oldest Fair Europe" brings up so many results, at least a dozen fairs all claiming the title. Made me curious because my home town always claims to be the oldest "Charter Fair" in Europe. It dates back to a charter granted by King Henry in 1252.

Code:
Ilkeston Market Place is the site of a Charter fair. The fair celebrated its 760th anniversary in 2012, the Charter being granted by King Henry III in 1252. This makes the fair older than Nottingham's famous Goose Fair and it is one of the largest street fairs in the Country, indeed in Europe."
