South Cerney Street Fair

South Cerney Street Fair & Grand Duck Race

Gloucestershire's friendliest family day out. Every May bank holiday, South Cerney opens up its streets for stalls, games, and entertainment, with live music from the Big Brunch Band running from 12pm to 2pm — jazz, blues, rock & roll, funk, pop and swing, with solos and vocalists. A proper soundtrack to a proper day out.

Then there's the main event: the Grand Duck Race, the much-anticipated finale where rubber ducks navigate a riverside course through obstacles to the finish line, with a crowd willing them home. Add in Splat That Rat, activities for all ages, food, drink, and that easy atmosphere that comes from a whole village going all in for the bank holiday — and you've got one of the most reliably good days in the Cotswold calendar.

A proper community celebration. Free to attend.
