The greasy pole!
Sadly, there’s no climbing the greasy pole this year after someone had an accident at the 2002 Pole Fair. But you can still get your picture taken in front of the ceremonial pole.
Corby Silver Band
Corby Silver Band made their traditional appearance on the main stage at 8am.
The band was formed for the 1902 Pole Fair and has continued ever since.
