The Appleby Horse Fair

This traditional horse fair is an informal gathering of gypsies and travellers, where visitors can see the horses being raced down streets and washed in the river. Stalls selling food, local produce and everything ´horsey´ can be found throughout the fair.

The event will run from 3rd to 9th June, and is usually less crowded on the Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information contact Appleby Tourist Information on 017683 51177 or www.applebyfair.org
