An event to remember! St Benedict's Fair was held Saturday 23 July 2005 in Eynsham Market Square, as part of Eynsham Abbey millennium celebrations, and all profits went to Eynsham Library Extension Fund.

The Fair included medieval activities of all kinds, many in period costume: Medieval Crafts & Food - Pig Roast & Ale - Pottery - Calligraphy - Basket Making - Illuminated Manuscripts - Jewellery - Stained Glass - Candle Sticks - Morris Dancing - Soap - Minstrels - Spinning - Jesters - Bee Keeping - Bell Ringing & Hand Bells - Herbs & Plants - Abbey Exhibition - Flower Posies - Children's Activities - Corn Dolls - Paintings - Art Competition.
