Summary: Fair Day

Key dates:

This picture shows a Fair Day in Moy, Co. Tyrone. This allowed local farmers a special chance to trade in livestock. Cattle and horses were traded, while piglets were sold from carts. In some towns this type of Fair Day also drew groups of fiddle players trying to earn a few pennies for their entertainment.
