Description

A traditional, informal gathering of Gypsies and Travellers - lively atmosphere with plenty to see - horses being washed in river, raced down street, stalls etc. 

Appleby Horse Fair takes place on the first week in June from Thursday to the following Wednesday, but it is essentially a weekend event with the main days being Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The dates for the 2023 Appleby Horse Fair will be: Thursday 8th June to Wednesday 14th June (with the main days being Thursday 8th, Friday 9th, Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th June.)

If you come on the Monday or Tuesday afterwards you may be disappointed as there will be VERY little to see.
 
Appleby Horse Fair is unique in Europe and, as well as attracting around 10,000 Gypsies and Travellers, over 30,000 other visitors attend the Fair, with Sunday being the traditional main visitors’ day.

Please note: The fair is not an organised event and visitors attend at their own risk.

Further information on the Horse Fair can be found on the Appleby Horse Fair website.
