By the 1930's the Feast day had developed into a rather more restrained affair. Pam Smith, who's father was the landlord of the Brewers Arms, remembers, 'It was the same day every year and it was a school holiday. They used to have a funfair at the back of The Brewers, and there were sports behind the Hall. The Fair always came for the Wanborough Feast. There were swings and roundabouts, and the gypsy people used to make toffee apples.'

Noreen Fulford has another memory, 'I'm told that I went to see somebody walking on burning coals at the back of The Brewers, that must have been the fair.'

Doris Carter remembered stalls down the street at those early shows, 'It was all horses carts and waggons in them days, no motor vehicles like it is today.' Doris also recalled dances, 'There used to be a hut in Upper Wanborough, where the council houses are now, Start Groves used to have his cobblers there. There used to he a big hut because Nan used to do the catering for the dances. The jockeys came down from Foxhill. They asked Stan if they could come. He said they'd behave themselves and they did.'
