Brigg Horse Fair tomorrow - Tuesday, August 5 - will be held near the railway station, off Station Road, starting about 9.30am and running into the afternoon.
Horses will be bought and sold in the traditional manner. 
It's a free spectacle but please watch out for the steeds being trotted at speed.
Brigg's is one of the few remaining horse fairs in the UK and attracts travellers from a wide area. A good many of them have already arrived in the town, with more due today.
