The vibrant heart of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is about to welcome a timeless summer tradition. Horton’s Steam Fair is officially setting up on Barnes Green for this year's highly anticipated Barnes Fair on Saturday 11th July, bringing a curated collection of pristine, historic amusements to one of South West London’s most beautiful community spaces.

If you are hunting for memorable things to do in Barnes, SW13 or looking up the best upcoming Richmond family events, our traditional fairground layout offers a beautiful, sensory-rich escape from modern screens.

A Nostalgic Journey for Little Adventurers

Unlike modern, high-intensity theme parks, our vintage fairground attractions are built for the whole family to enjoy together. The centerpiece of our display features our beautifully preserved, museum-quality Steam Gallopers. Watch your children's faces light up as they pick their favorite hand-painted horse, spinning gently to the authentic melodies of our mechanical fairground organ.

Test Your Skills on Game Stalls Row

The nostalgia continues just a few steps away on our traditional fairground games row. Perfect for fostering friendly family competition and refining hand-eye coordination in younger children, our stalls feature some of the ultimate fairground classics, such as:

• The traditional Coconut Shy
• The family-favourite Hook-a-Duck
• Classic vintage prize stalls designed for gentle, rewarding fun.

Whether you are introducing toddlers to their very first carousel or looking for a stunning weekend outing with grandparents, Barnes Green is the place to create multi-generational memories this weekend.

We’ll see you there – you can’t miss us! 🎠 🎡
