Danish Fair – A Tradition Since 1954

Every year, on a Saturday in May, the Danish Church in London and its beautiful gardens are transformed into a colourful marketplace as we welcome visitors to our much-loved Danish Fair.


Since 1954, the Danish Fair has brought together Danes, friends of Denmark and curious visitors for a festive day in the heart of London. With more than 1,000 visitors of all ages, there is something for everyone. The Fair takes place in both Danish and English, and everyone is welcome.


Originally known as the Bazaar, the Danish Fair was founded by Danish Women in England. Today, it remains a much-loved tradition, kept alive by generations of volunteers and supporters. All proceeds go towards supporting the work and activities of the Danish Church throughout the year.

DANISH HYGGE AND PLENTY TO EXPOLRE 

Browse stalls offering Danish design, handicrafts, antiques, books, flowers and delicious treats. In the garden, you’ll find a lively food market serving Danish open sandwiches, hot dogs, meatballs with potato salad and a selection of cold drinks.


Children can enjoy the fishpond, face painting, games and the legendary flødebolle catapult, while music and a wonderful sense of community create the special Danish Fair atmosphere.


And, of course, there is our raffle, with fantastic prizes generously donated by our sponsors. Tickets can be purchased online in advance, right up until the day of the Fair, as well as on the day itself. The draw takes place at 4.30 pm, and the winners will be announced on the church website afterwards.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

All proceeds from the Danish Fair go towards the work and activities of the Danish Church throughout the year, making the Fair one of our largest sources of income. By taking part, you help support a vibrant meeting place for Danes in London – today and for generations to come.


The Fair would not be possible without our wonderful community and the more than 100 volunteers who help make the day a success year after year. Some have been involved for decades, while others are joining us for the first time.

 

What they all share is enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to lend a hand.


We look forward to welcoming you!
