Pictured below are roughly half of our more than 700 cast members. These are the talented ‘citizens of London’ who greet you at the city gates and beguile and bemuse you throughout your Fair day.  Many of these characters are brought to life from the fertile imagination of Charles Dickens (seated), and many others directly from the pages of history itself.  Do join us, won’t you?
