The Triangle Summer Fair – 9 August 2025

It’s official! The Triangle Summer Fair is returning on Saturday 9 August, 12 noon until 4pm. Please save the date, tell your friends, cancel your holidays etc, as the Triangle will be the place to be.

We’ll be setting up from 9.00am for anyone who wants to help out.

Donation of cakes and books/games etc are also welcome from mid morning.

If you have volunteered to help on a stall we are planning to get a rota out by Friday lunchtime. If you haven’t, it’s not too late!

About the Triangle

Aldcliffe Road Triangle is a small community green space between Aldcliffe Rd and the Lancaster Canal. It is a former builder’s and boat maker’s yard, which fell into disrepair in the early 2000s.

The Fairfield Association leased the site from the City Council, and its Friends of the Triangle group repaired the workshop building, demolished other buildings, installed paths, raised beds, and a bench. The raised beds are planted with edibles including fruit bushes, fruit trees, vines, and herbs. Find out more.
