Thread Name: Origins: Brigg Fair
Subject: RE: Origins: Brigg Fair
The Fair is an annual event held in the English market town of Brigg, North Lincolnshire, on every 5 August since 1205. It was primarily an event at which horses were bought and sold. While it is still held today, it is a shadow of its former self, The annual Fair is organised by the travelling community and it is the second largest horse fair in the country after Appleby.
