Every year hundreds of Gypsies and Travellers arrive at West Ardsley for Lee Gap Horse Fair. The fair has taken place for over 1000 years and was chartered by King Stephen in 1139, which makes it the oldest fair in England!
The fair takes place twice a year , First O'Lee on the 24th August and Latter Lee on the 17th September (exc Sundays). Sadly the land has been sold to make way for a housing estate and the fair will no longer take place on this site.
September's fair may be the end of Lee Gap Horse Fair and another loss to the community.
Running time 40 minutes.
