Plan your journey well to Appleby Fair 2010 using the availability of transit sites and temporary stopping places provided. This means planning to arrive in Cumbria from the 24 May 2010. Read more about when the temporary stopping places and transit sites open.

The main licensed sites for Appleby Fair will not open until 4am on Thursday 3 June 2010 and encampments in a 1.5 mile zone around Appleby will not be permitted ahead of this time.

In South Lakeland a new temporary stopping place is being provided at Scrogg Bank for 2010. Other local landowners are gauging the success of this new Temporary stopping place. If it is well used and respected it is anticipated that other fields may be made available for future Fairs.
