COUNTDOWN TO BRIGG HORSE FAIR 2016

When is Brigg Horse Fair? That's a question you hear every year. 
Brigg Blog always explains that it's held on August 5 unless that happens to fall on a Sunday. 
That's not the case this year. So it will take place on Friday, August 5,. 2016.
The venue these days is the former railway station goods yard/approach at the end of Station Road.
Brigg Horse Fair is organised by the traveller community and fails to make it into many event listings. So make a note of the day and date.
Travellers come from a huge area of the North and Midlands to trade their steeds in time-honoured fashion. Spectators can go along and watch the free spectacle.
Recent years have seen some stalls come on the scene, selling various items.
