The Rosscarbery Horse Fair has been taking place for generations and even if you’re not in the market for a horse there are plenty of street traders setting up stalls that sell anything and everything from toys to clothes to electrical appliances and knick-knacks.

(Wear your wellies or practice your footwork to take part in the natural obstacle course that tends to build up around the horse-populated part of the town - it’s all part of the fun of the fair!)
