Appleby Horse Fair
You are in: Cumbria > Places > Features > Appleby
Horse Fair > Early arrivals for the horse fair
Traditional bow-topped caravan or vardo
Early arrivals for the horse fair
Whilst the Appleby Horse Fair only lasts a week, its effects
spread much wider around the county as BBC radio Cumbria's Martin Lewes finds
out.
If you say "horse fair" in Cumbria, most people will think of Appleby, but
in fact the event stretches far wider than that. It also lasts much longer than
the first weekend in June, as people arrive and leave at the speed of a horse
and bowtop caravan.
Shoeing a horse at the fair And it seems to get longer every year. This year the first caravans crossed
the county boundary at Kirkby Lonsdale well before the end of April; that's in
spite of an agreement with the authorities that roadside stopping places
wouldn't be needed until the week before the fair.
BBC Radio Cumbria's Martin Lewes, went to meet some these early arrivals to
the fair, and guaged the reaction of the locals in the Sedburgh area too. Click
the link below, to listen to Martin Lewes' report...
