The annual event takes places in Appleby over the second weekend of June. It is an opportunity for travellers all over the world to gather and exchange news.

In the fields you can see people with their beautiful vardos engaged in old crafts - horse shoeing, embroidery, wooden peg making and have your fortune told. In the evening watch the horse and buddy races and throughout the day you can watch the washing of the horses followed by the horse parade. Go to church and witness a travellers wedding or baptism.

Great to be surrounded by beautiful countryside with a community long forgotten by mainstream society.

Wonderful room with enormous luxury bathroom and king-size bed. Food is excellent including evening meal and really welcoming owners.
