Travellers in Startforth in 2014 - there has been no major trespass since then except at Harmire
APPLEBY Horse Fair will go ahead this year, two months later than the traditional June date to reduce the risk of “ad hoc” gatherings.
The Appleby Horse Fair Multi-Agency Strategic Co-ordinating Group (MASCG) agreed to support the event taking place on August 12, when it met to discuss plans last Wednesday. The revised date is subject to potential changes in Government regulations and recommendations around large events.
Les Clark, chairman of the Appleby Horse Fair MASCG and deputy chief executive for Eden District Council, said: “In reaching this decision the MASCG has had to weigh many factors. It is preferable for everyone involved – local settled people, gypsies and travellers and the local authorities – for Appleby Horse Fair to happen on a set date.
