The Millbrook Fair has been bringing the community together for generations — in fact, its roots go all the way back to the 1830s!

From thrilling competitions and lively demonstrations to hands-on activities and colourful displays, this is where learning about agriculture meets pure, old-fashioned fun. It’s a place where all ages can gather to celebrate rural life, local talent, and the joy of coming together.
