DETAILS of the 2026 Rockbourne Fair have been unveiled – with three days of boutique shopping on offer in aid of the Stars Appeal.

The annual shopping event, at Salisbury Racecourse, is set to run across October 14 to 16, drawing thousands of visitors in hunt of bespoke bargains from more than 90 stalls.

It will stay open until 7.30pm on the Thursday evening, offering visitors the chance to enjoy late-night shopping, with more than 30 new stalls for 2026.

“The money raised will help the Stars Appeal towards the £2 million it aims to raise this year to fund projects across Salisbury Hospital,” a spokesperson said. 

“These include new equipment such as a mammogram machine for the Breast Unit, enhancements to buildings, and ongoing projects across the hospital, including support for people with cancer, a dedicated play assistant on the Children’s Unit, and Stars Appeal WiFi.”

Last year’s event raised a record-breaking £68,191, surpassing the £62,081 raised in 2024.

“Also returning to the event is the popular Rockbourne Fair Lunch Menu, available in the on-site restaurant, offering seasonal dishes, coffee and cake deals, and even a glass of fizz for those in the festive spirit,” the spokesperson added. 

“Wood-fired sourdough pizzas will also be available to enjoy al fresco during the Fair.”

The Fair opens at 10am each day, running to 5pm on October 14, 7.30pm the following day, and 13pm on the final day, with free parking available. For more information visit www.rockbournefair.org.uk.
