It is traditional for horses to be washed in the River Eden. The Fair attracts huge numbers who come to witness horse sales and the tradition of washing horses in the river.
The mutually agreed start date for the Fair will be Thursday 9 June , which falls in the week following the Jubilee celebrations. Further information on this can be found on the Appleby Horse Fair website. Appleby Horse Fair takes place from the Thursday to the following Wednesday, but it is essentially a weekend event with the main days being Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Please note: The Fair is not an organised event and visitors attend at their own risk. The main activities take place on Fair Hill. Most horse trading takes place at the crossroads and on Long Marton Road. Here, horses are shown off by trotting up and down at speed.
