Gypsy Horse Fair at Wickham

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Even though we have lived in Hampshire for many many years this was our first time to The Wickham Horse Fair and we had a great time. We will certainly put it on our list to visit again.

+duncan smith Yes it is the one on the for med I think.

I’ve only been there once bc I always go to Appleby horse fair

[@grantbennett5689]

Just a question, do travellers still use dolls heads in the hedge to show a place they can park up? My dad lived in Pensilva, in Cornwall , and explained when I noticed one outside the village what it meant. Sadly the traditional site there is replaced with hard standing and amenities like toilets ,more modern but a bit soulless . Health n safety again, but then I haven't lived with no loo or running water so ?

Nice video, Wickham is about seven miles away from where I am

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

+Nigel Perren I am so glad you enjoyed the programme.

[@djeverettwm]

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Thanks

[@mizofan]

Thank you for this and other positive videos on romanies. Do you have any favourite films?

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

My pleasure so pleased you enjoyed it. Over the years we have known many romanies including the lovely Harriette great grand daughter of Priscilla Wells and they have all been so nice to us. I really would like to do more on Romany life especially that of the New Forest.

[@mizofan]

@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker I appreciate your gentle films and positive attitude to romanies- my wife is a romany, very kind, was a nurse, travelled a lot when younger, i'm a gorja

[@johnrussell9818]

A very good video perhaps I would contest "the majority of Romany are Roman Catholics" as the predominant faith these days are "Born again Christians" from what I have seen, but congratulations on the video

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Hi John, thank you for the nice comments and thank you for the information. All the best Dave

[@carruthers59]

Lets not confuse true romany with Irish traveler's

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

That is true.
