📖 Auszug aus dem Wikipedia-Artikel
The Statutes Fair is an amusements fair held in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire in England. It is held annually on the first Monday and Tuesday after Michaelmas. The fair has been held since 1219 but, despite its name, no statute allowing for it has been found. The event was originally a hiring fair, with employers giving a symbolic shilling to employees contracted for the following year. Amusement stalls began as a means of persuading the employees to spend their shillings. The event is now entirely an amusements fair. It has survived several attempts at abolition and ran, in a reduced form, through the Second World War and COVID-19 pandemic.
