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.
Following the Government’s ‘Roadmap’ announcement last week, members of Appleby Horse Fair Multi Agency Strategic Co-ordinating Group (MASCG) met on Monday (1 March) to discuss the implications for the 2021 Fair.
The Chair of the Appleby Horse Fair Multi-Agency Strategic Co-ordinating Group (MASCG) has thanked those who heeded the advice to stay away from Appleby.
People in the Gypsy and Traveller community and the settled community are being thanked for their understanding following the news the 2020 Appleby Horse Fair will not take place.
Community Action Group meetings (CAGs) are being held across Eden in the lead up to Appleby Horse Fair to give people the opportunity to discuss any issues arising in their community, relating to the Fair.
