MCRJourno

Trafford Centre’s popular Summer Fair is back from 19th July to 31st August promising family-friendly fun, outdoor attractions and creative activities for all ages.

Open daily from 12pm to 8pm the fair will feature returning favourites like the giant beach, children’s splash park and high-energy rides including the Star Flyer, Sea Storm and a giant inflatable zone.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of food stalls offering Cheshire ice cream, Belgian waffles, chocolate-covered fruit and marshmallows, burgers, hot dogs and churros.

New for 2025 is the Summer Activity Zone - a free undercover tent area designed for children to get hands-on with crafts and creative projects.

Each week features a different themed activity, with options such as painting, baking, building and experimenting, regardless of the weather.

The full schedule is available here.

Entry costs £3.50 on the gate or £3 online plus a booking fee, which includes access to the fairground, beach, splash park and activity zone.

Ride tokens are sold separately at £1 each.

Families planning multiple visits can purchase an unlimited summer wristband for £120 per person, allowing daily fair entry and unlimited rides throughout the summer.

These wristbands are available from Guest Services at the Trafford Centre.

Simon Layton, centre director at Trafford Centre, said: "We know how much families look forward to our Summer Fair, and this year we’re thrilled to bring even more value and creativity with the new Summer Activity Zone."
