Bury Fair was a lively and highly fashionable fair held in early October on the
Angel-Hill at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk:\\
Now is the season, when the sprightly fair\\
In shining crowds to Bury town repair.\\
(“The Glories of Bury.” Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Review, v. 3, Dec. 1733, p.657)

Here, the visitor could purchase silk, perfume, gloves, gowns, pears. pickles,
and gingerbread. According to the Magna Britannia (1721), “all the neighboring
nobility and gentry come to it every afternoon,” and while there they
spent the day playing dice and the evenings watching a comedy, after which
how attended one of the Assemblies,

The Scottish spy-turned-travel writer John Macky wrote, in 1722,
“I must own I never saw a fairer Assembly of Beauties in any Part of the World, than at
this Fair; which seldom concludes without some considerable Matches or Intreagues:
And indeed it is more a Market for Ladies, than Merchandizes.”
