Trading Standards Officers from Westmorland and Furness Council, supported by Cumbria Police and the Anti-Counterfeiting Group, seized over £38,000 worth of unsafe counterfeit goods from the market fields at this year’s Appleby Horse Fair.
Appleby Horse Fair 2025 was one of the busiest in recent years, with the number of caravans and bowtops in attendance up on last year, despite poor weather with heavy downpours and brisk winds.
A month ahead of the 2023 Appleby Horse Fair, Fair-goers who bring trailers (towed caravans) are being reminded of the importance of planning ahead and not arriving too soon.
There have recently been confirmed cases of measles circulating in the North West - so it's important to make sure your family's vaccinations are up to date.
As the biggest Appleby Horse Fair in recent years comes to a close, all road users are urged to be extra careful on roads throughout Cumbria and beyond.
