Horncastle’s uplifting community arts event is back for the third year this August, with a range of activities and events taking place in the town centre, around the ‘Mane Event’ on Saturday 9th August. The event takes inspiration from the town’s ancient summer fair, the Great August Horse Fair, which was once the largest fair for horses in the world bringing buyers from across Europe and beyond.

Organised and run by Sessions Arts in partnership with the Society and local volunteers, with support from Horncastle Town Council, ELDC and Arts Council England, the Horse Fair is a celebration of the town’s heritage and history at the same time as being a wonderful community get-together where new traditions are created!

With performances, craft workshops, talks, food & drink and even a parade, it’s a brilliant event that brings the town together.

Keep posted for more updates and the full programme in due course, or visit the Horncastle Horse Fair Facebook page.
