Local residents attended a member’s drop-in event at Appleby Library on Saturday 9 March to discuss how the Multi-Agency Strategic Co-coordinating Group (MASCG) can improve its response to the annual Horse Fair, held in the town.
A meeting to discuss plans for the response to this year’s Appleby Horse Fair will be held at the Public Hall in the town on Wednesday 15 May from 7pm.
The organisers of the “Travelling Man” mobile bar, a popular addition to the 2023 Appleby Horse Fair, have announced that they will not be operating the bar at this year’s Fair.
This week the daily Community Action Groups begin which will give Eden residents the opportunity to raise any emerging issues to do with Appleby Horse Fair.
Members of the Appleby Horse Fair Multi-Agency Strategic Coordinating Group (MASCG) have agreed to move the 2022 Fair from its usual dates over the first weekend of June to ensure that next year’s Fair does not fall on the same dates as the Queens Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend celebrations.
As part of usual pre-fair preparations, a multi-agency effort has been taking place to clear the river and the river bed of any otherwise unseen obstructions or matter which could potentially cause injuries to people or horses.
