Though Fair organizers have not, in the past generally charged admission to peruse the countless booths and choose from the variety of entertainments available to the public at their nationally regarded gathering of all that is colorful, this year, the policy has changed. Gates have been constructed about the perimeter of the Fair to keep out the rabble that in the past have caused riots over things as inconsequential as cheese. Observe the picture below, taken from an illustrated fan, which will give the viewer somewhat of an idea as to what the Bartholomew Fair is all about. Inside the gates, one can find nearly every sort of edible imaginable, from sausages and beer to fresh bread and poultry. The Bartholomew Fair, however, is best known for its fine selection of cloth and tapestries, which is why it has become known as the "Cloth Fair" to many who attend each year. The Fair, a long-standing tradition formerly sponsored by the church of St. Bartholomew, is so gigantic, in fact, that the admission fee being charged in this auction will seem inconsequential to any who set foot on the fair grounds. In addition to goods and food, the fairgoer will have access to every type of entertainment imaginable, from conjuring and theatricals to musical works and performing animals. Other auctions on this site offer up these performances individually - attend the Bartholomew fair and have access to all of them at one time (of course the entertainments are all extra-charge events). This is a bargain unparalleled by any other offered at this time on Ye Old eBay. Your opportunity is passing you by with each successive second. Don't be left out in the cold or outside the Fair gates. The pictures below will give prospective bidders some idea of the nature of the fair and the entertainments that are included inside it. |
