The Appleby Horse Fair each year draws tens of thousands of Irish Travellers and Gypsies to a rural patch of England to celebrate their culture.

Life has never been easy in England for Irish Travellers or for Gypsies, as many there still refer to themselves (elsewhere, many view the term as pejorative and prefer Roma or Romany).

Both originated as nomadic groups many centuries ago, with the Romany migrating to Europe from northern India and the Travellers emerging in what is present-day Ireland. In England, Appleby has knit the community together year after year.

The fair’s roots trace to the 1700s, when traders from across the United Kingdom began setting up camp each June in the rural Cumbrian town of Appleby-in-Westmorland. And for all the trappings the fair has taken on since then, horses remain the stars.

Our photographer @marytrnr spent four days there. See more of her experience and read more about the festival at the link in our bio.
