BRIGG HORSE FAIR 2017 PREVIEW, PICTURES & ALL-IMPORTANT WEATHER FORECAST


Brigg Horse Fair 2017 will be held on Saturday, August 5, with travellers expected to start buying and selling steeds from 9.30am and continuing to do so well into the afternoon.
There will also be a range of stalls and trailers offering various items.
The fair takes place on land near Station Road  - postcode DN20 8XH.
Historic Brigg Horse Fair is one of a dwindling number held in the UK.
But judging by the number of travellers who have arrived in their caravans over the past week, there will be a bigger-than-usual attendance in 2017.
It's free to attend if you want to spectate but please watch out for approaching horses being paraded for the benefit of potential purchasers.
Tomorrow's weather in Brigg is forecast to be mainly sunny but with a risk of some heavy showers. Likely temperature 18C which is 66F.
Fingers crossed that we miss those!
Here are a few pictures of the 2016 horse fair to bring back a few memories.
