Coupar
Angus Horse Fair began as a Spring fair on a horse theme, echoing the
famous Coupar Angus horse fairs of yesteryear.
It is a chance for everyone to meet and socialise after a long,
cold winter. There are lots
of activities, including a parade through the town, horses at the
Common, a craft fair at the town hall, a sale of work at the church
hall, and lots more.
We
are always looking for volunteers to help with small tasks (many hands
make light work). If you
would like to help in some way, please phone Michael Gallagher on 01828
