Castle Ashby Country Fair (Held near Brafield, Northants) The Castle Ashby Country Fair moved to Brafield a few years ago (2003?). The fields where it now takes place are used for grazing for most of the year, but the sheep are evicted to make way for the Fair every July. Update: the Fair no longer takes place.

Show Jumping at the Castle Ashby Country Fair, near Brafield, Northants. The Castle Ashby Country Fair moved to this site after about 20 years of existence. Following the move, it used to take place every July in fields just to the north of "Northampton International Stadium", not far from Brafield on the Green, Northants. I think the last time it took place was approximately 2012??
