Though they've only been at it for about 25 years, the Downton Cuckoo Fair is a traditional, old fashioned village fete. Expect more than 200 craft and food stalls, street entertainment, Punch and Judy Shows, a Brass Band Concert, a treasure hunt, a clay shoot, a 10K run and more. Very, very English.
