Historic Worthing Sheep Fair Goes Ahead In Findon

The fair, that has been an annual tradition for 200 years, was cancelled in 2020 and 21, but went ahead at Nepcote Green this Saturday (Sept 10).

The only other time it has been cancelled in its history was in 2001 due to the foot-and-mouth epidemic.

Its roots can be traced back to 1261 when a charter was established, granting permission for a sheep fair to take place on Nepcote Green.

The event has grown over the years and now includes a funfair, sheep competitions and stalls run by local businesses.
