The Danish Fair

Every year on a Saturday in May, the Danish Church in London and its beautiful gardens are transformed into a colourful and festive marketplace as we welcome everyone to Danish Fair – a celebration of all things Danish. You can find the date for this year fair in the church calendar HERE.

Since 1954, Danish Fair has been a cherished tradition, bringing together Danes, friends of Denmark and curious Londoners for a joyful and memorable day right by Regent’s Park. With over 1,000 guests of all ages, it’s a day for everyone – no matter your background or connection to Denmark.

The fair warmly welcomes international guests and curious newcomers – and the entire event takes place in both Danish and English, making sure everyone feels included.

The fair is packed with stalls offering classic and modern Danish design, handicrafts, antiques, books, flowers and delicious treats – all served with a generous dose of Danish charm. Inside the church, you will find everything from liquorice and home-baked goods to unique finds and design inspiration, while the garden turns into a vibrant food market with traditional smørrebrød in the restaurant tent, hotdogs, meatballs with potato salad and cold drinks from the bar. Grab a seat in the sun, soak up the atmosphere and raise a toast with friends over a cold beer or a Faxe Kondi.

Children can enjoy games, face painting, a duck pond – and of course, our legendary flødebolle catapult. Throughout the day, there will be live music and a relaxed, festive vibe that many will recognise from Denmark.

No Danish Fair without our legendary raffle, featuring fantastic prizes donated by generous sponsors. Tickets can be purchased online in the lead-up to the fair – and on the day itself. The lucky winners will be drawn at 4:30pm, and results will be posted on the church website afterwards.

All proceeds from Danish Fair go directly to supporting the work and activities of the Danish Church in London throughout the year. By taking part, you are helping sustain a vibrant community for Danes in London – now and for generations to come.

Danish Fair wouldn’t be possible without the strong community spirit and the more than 100 volunteers who help make the day a success. Some have been involved for decades, others are brand new – but all contribute with energy, commitment and great enthusiasm.

Originally known as “The Bazaar,” Danish Fair was founded by the Danish Women’s Association in England. It has grown into a much-loved annual event, carried forward by generations of volunteers and dedicated supporters. Over the years, it has contributed significantly to the life and work of the church and remains a key part of what makes the Danish Church in London so special.

We look forward to welcoming you!
