Tunbridge World's Fair — Local services in Tunbridge

Tunbridge Fair is always my favorite. We have spent hours here and I still didn't want to leave. There's so much food, you'll want to eat it all but your tummy can only handle so much!

We had chicken tenders and fries, a corn dog, Mexican street corn, kettle corn, lemonade, a turkey leg, and apple crisp. Did I want another street corn, a fried Oreo, fried dough, and a Greek chicken sandwich? Why yes, yes I did. My husband had to drag me out of the fair so I wouldn't get more! I was too full but still, I wanted everything.

Expect to spend a hefty amount here (it's worth it!) as the entrance fee for a normal adult is 20 dollars. Most food items are 5 dollars and up. The turkey leg was a whopping 20 dollars too! Lemonades are on the pricier side as well (mine was 10) but it's all scrumptious!

We bought honey, kettle corn, body butter, a car freshener, and maple walnut fudge.

I recommend saying hello to all the animals as well: cows, goats, sheep, peacocks, chickens, horses, ducks, geese, pigs, rabbits. The cows are my personal favorite but all the others are nice as well!

And don't forget to visit the historical section where there's sewing, upholstering, blacksmithing, wood working, and demonstrations of how old fashioned machines worked! We always make sure to visit the blacksmith area as we always learn something new.

All in all, there's a lot to do, a lot to see, a lot to eat, a lot of people to talk to, and you'll probably see at least 2 people you know while you're there! Keep a bunch of cash on hand as most vendors only take cash. Eat up and...

If you have a great deal of money and no problem being separated from it, then this is a true treasure of the Faumont movement. You can ignore the 20% area poverty rate in Chelsea, while paying $20 a person just to enter the grounds. Most of the attractions inside the barrier were equally priced for Vermont's second home crowd or the denizens of Chittenden County. Parking in a dusty field with minimal direction from the less than militarily efficient Norwich University cadets was free. The Faumont tractor towed shuttles were also complimentary if you ignored the gratuity expected signage. The documentary on the fair's website pretty much summed it up. This was once a community activity that celebrates hard lives and harder living. Now, this is a pastoral fantasy for the affluent adjacent. The age of Fred Tuttle's fair is truly over. What the caretakers of this institution have created is a sad commentary on rural America's few haves and...

Normally i would give this fair 5 stars. I have been going to the fair since I was a freshman in highschool. But this year (2025) will be our last year going to the fair. We brought our daughter who is 9 years old yesterday (9-12-25) to the fair to celebrate her 10th birthday coming up on Monday. Paid 30 dollars for her ride bracelet just to have her be denied to ride any of the kid rides. My daughter has extreme anxiety and doesn't like rides that go in the air or spin really fast so for her to be denied the rides she was comfortable with makes me angry. The sign says must be 50 inches or smaller to ride, and my daughter is only 47 inches and the ride operators would not let her on. I feel so bad that we took her there to celebrate her birthday and she wasnt able to do anything after we spent so much money. Tunbridge fair please do better. You just lost people coming...
