Horse Fair in Appleby-in-Westmorland
The horse fair, also known as Appleby New Fair, is held every year in early June. It attracts about 10,000 Gypsies and Travellers and 1000 caravans, several horse-drawn vehicles, and about 30,000 visitors.
The fair is billed as the biggest traditional Gypsy Fair in Europe, one that’s like a big family get-together.
The horses are washed and trotted up and down the flashing lane on most main days.
There is a market on Jimmy Winter’s field selling a variety of goods -some traditional to the Gypsy travelling community and a range of other horse-related products.
The Gypsy and Traveller attendees include British Romanichal, Irish Travellers, Scottish Gypsy and Traveller groups, Kale (Welsh Romanies) and more.
