Romsey’s much-loved Beggars Fair is back on Saturday 12 July, bringing a full day of free live music, dance, and family entertainment to the heart of the town. Now in its 31st year, the community-run festival will showcase over 200 acts across more than 25 venues, from street corners to church halls. Expect everything from folk and jazz to rock, soul, and world music— plus vibrant dance displays and fun for younger visitors too.
The event is entirely run by local volunteers, with support from Test Valley Borough Council, the Police, and town centre businesses. Thousands attended last year, and the team is hoping for an even bigger celebration in 2024.
