Every June, starting on the first Thursday of the month

A centuries-old gathering of Gypsy and Traveller communities, best known for horses being washed in the River Eden and run down the road through town. The main days run from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 June, with little to see after the Sunday. It is not a ticketed or organised attraction: a multi-agency group led by Westmorland and Furness Council and Cumbria Police coordinates safety, so plan for road changes and visit respectfully.
