Appleby Horse Fair is a major tourist event which attracts many thousands of visitors each year. The main days for visiting are Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
More advice and information is available on Appleby Horse Fair (Official Site).
Accommodation within Appleby is in very high demand during the week of the Fair, so you may not be able to secure a room within Appleby itself and may have to look elsewhere in Eden.
For day visitors, using public transport to travel to Appleby is recommended, because of the problems with congestion and safety when travelling by car.
Travelling by train to the Fair is an option as Appleby Station (on the Settle-Carlisle line) is only a short walk from the Fair. For the latest timetable information see tickets and travel on the Settle to Carlisle Railway website.
A limited bus service operates to Appleby for available services please check bus timetables in Eden on Cumbria County Council's website.
