Basel: Autumn Fair
October and November is the time when Switzerland goes crazy for fairs, or shows as they used to be known when I was a young lad.
This week it’s Basel’s turn (you may have worked out I don’t like to use English spellings, like Basle).
It’s at the Messe, and entrance is (can you believe this) free!
The fair is marketed as representing seven different “worlds”: Wellness, Fashion, Sport, Living, Leisure, Household and Food&Drink.
If this was in any other country, the homeless would be queueing up to sample all of the free foods and wines on offer, but in Switzerland it’ll be a civilised affair.
Plenty of sideshows for young and old alike: a table football championship (which translates marvelously as Töggeliturnier) plus remote controlled car races and who could possibly resist the exhibition of bakelite goods? Fun for all the faimly!
The exhibition runs from Sat 27th October to Sunday 4 November in Hall 3 (the big one) of the Messe. It opens daily at noon and closes at 20:00
